Instructor Led Fragility Training

Mechanical Shock Techniques The effects of mechanical shock are important in many engineering applications. Shock is often part of the service and/or transportation environment. This course teaches general dynamic principles and builds on them to a greater understanding of shock effects, shock measurement, shock testing and design to withstand shock.  more...

Mechanical Shock and Modal Test Techniques The course reviews structural and dynamic theory before examining methods of measuring frequency response from a structure under test. Causes and effects of shock are reviewed in detail. Experimental modal testing and input excitation methods are discussed, such as shaker and impact hammer. Transducers and signal processing equipment and analysis methods are reviewed. The Shock Response Spectrum  more...
