Abstract:Spacecraft components encounter mechanical shock from a variety of sources. Components must withstand a series of flight shock pulses and must be designed and tested accordingly to ensure reliability. This paper presents a ''Design for Shock'' methodology to accurately analyze the response to shock for components under the short duration dynamic loading to assess component structural integrity and demonstrate design robustness. This methodology uses a more realistic simulation of the response of the component … Show more
