Let me preface this by saying that I am very green when it comes to this area.
I have a component that is required to withstand 20G equivalent static acceleration in the lateral direction. The component is mounted near the base.
Best I have been able to tell is, when the equivalent acceleration is given, then the equivalent force is a simple F=ma calculation. Please correct me if I'm off on this.
That being said, what sort of stress analysis would be appropriate to verify that the component meets this requirement?
Thanks in advance for any help.
