The data I captured at 128Hz was, as expected, insufficient to capture the full impact and is likely averaging the peak values, which were right around 2G's. The data did provide some interesting facts and having a 3-axis accelerometer was helpful to see things I didn't expect. My next step for...
Thank you guys for the excellent suggestions. This is for a component of a product that is seeing a lot of major changes in its generation and this particular part needs to be broken into two parts (beam and flange) with some improvements to better withstand impacts.
Since my initial post I...
Hello there,
I am trying to design the mechanical interaction and fastening of two components in a bumper system to withstand regular impacts without yielding. I have many methods at my disposal to determine the impact force at the point of contact, but my question here is primarily how to...
