Thanks again for all of the help. We are looking at using layers of corrugated cardboard to be used under the casings for a spring effect, essentially increasing dt in the impact force equation F= m x dv/dt.
Thanks again all.
Thank you for the responses. It appears that it is indeed an impulse loading requirement. The duration is what I'm going to have to maximize to withstand this loading, presumably by using some kind of spring under the boxes of casings.
Hello, I am analyzing the integrity of a plastic casing holding two 7lb batteries. The loading is 50-g's while it's standing on end, which is supposedly what it could see during transportation by truck, cross-country.
What I am having a hard time with is the 50-g's and how to account for the...
