Test waveform

Test waveform

Test waveform

(OP)
Hello everybody,
I have to make a shock test, the specification says:
Maximum absolute acceleration 10 g´s
Maximum spectral velocity 1.3 m/s
Maximum relative displacement 20 milimeters
Does anyone know how to generate a test waveform that fullfil this requirements?
Thank you
Regards

What are you testing?

Is a box with inner electronics devices. Weight about 15 kgrs. Dimensions 500x300x300.

RE: Test waveform

What does it mean by spectral velocity?

I wouldn't be amazed if a half sine displacement with a 20mm amplitude and an appropriate duration worked.

 

Cheers

Thank you Greg,
I have been looking for information and I have find tha it could be the datum for a "tripartite papper" or four coordinate papper, but I don´t know how generate a waveform (excitation) which I can manage to the shaker, and which fulfill the requirements. If it could be a half sine, how could I calculate it?

RE: Test waveform

Until you can define spectral velocity you can't do it.

You just need to integrate your acceleration waveform once to get velocity, and again to get displacement.
