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 shocks and springs of the vehicle. If I use a hard surface below the plastic pack, there's no way it could survive 50-g's, nor could anything I would imagine.

Has anyone done an analysis dealing with transportation g-loads of this magnitude? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Scott
