80th Shock & Vibration Symposium

OCTOBER 25-29, 2009
SAN DIEGO, CA

The annual Shock and Vibration Symposium is the leading forum for the structural dynamics and vibration
community to present and discuss new developments and on-going research. The Symposium was established
in 1947 and includes both classified and unclassified sessions. The classified sessions allow critical technology
and classified (up to secret level) research to be presented in closed forums of cleared US Government and
government-contractor researchers. Topics covered at the symposium include shock-ship testing, water
shock, weapons effects (air blast, ground shock, cratering, penetration) shock physics, earthquake engineering,
structural dynamics, and shock and vibration instrumentation and experiment techniques. Over 200 technical
papers are typically presented. Panel discussions address topics such as new software developments or accel-
erometer isolation problems. Tutorials provide up-to-date technology overviews by leading specialists.

Introduction
Since the first meeting in 1947, the Shock and Vibration Symposium has become the oldest continual forum dealing with the response
of structures and materials to vibration and shock. The symposium was created as a mechanism for the exchange of information among
government agencies concerned with design, analysis and testing. It provides a valuable opportunity for the technical community in gov-
ernment, private industry and academia to meet and discuss problems of mutual interest. For this year’s symposium, Defense Threat
Reduction Agency (DTRA) and Sandia National Laboratories are the government featured organizations. Spectral Dynamics is the
commercial featured organization. Representing these organizations are our Co-Chairs.

IEST Committee Meeting

DTE-022 MIMO Recommended Practice Committee
Chair: Tony Keller
(9:30am - 11:30am)
Using more than one shaker to test large or unusually shaped objects is becoming a well accepted part of the vibration testing industry. Also, as
interest in simultaneously testing articles in multiple axis increases, the need for guidelines to understand MIMO (multiple input multiple output)
testing grows more important. Here is your chance to get up to speed on and contribute to our growing database on multi shaker concepts, fixtur-
ing, control, and reporting.

NEiNastran Users Group

Chair: Mr. Bart McPheeters
(2:00pm - 4:00pm)
The NEi Nastran Users Group will be a meeting to discuss enhancements users are interested in seeing implemented and a discussion of capabili-
ties that will soon be available in new products and upcoming product releases. In addition, there will be a presentation on case studies featuring
relevant applications in shock and vibration.

MIL-S-901D SHOCK QUALIFICATION TESTING ~ MR. KURT HARTSOUGH & MR. DOMENIC
URZILLO

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division Philadelphia (NSWCCD SSES) Code 623 is NAVSEA 05P3's Delegated Approval Author-
ity (DAA) for MIL-S-901D Surface Ship Shock. As the DAA, Code 623 is responsible for review and approval of all Government Furnished
Equipment and all Heavyweight tested equipment. In addition, NSWCCD SSES Code 6202 is the NAVSEA 05P3 DAA for all analysis and
DDAM approvals. NSWCCD Codes 623 and 6202 will be presenting the requirements for Shock Qualification Testing and Analysis as detailed in
NAVSEAINST 9072.1A, MIL-S-901D and NAVSEA 0908-LP-000-3010 Rev 1. This course will concentrate on MIL-S-901D test requirements
and how the DDAM requirements in NAVSEA 0908-LP-000-3010 fit into the shock qualification process of equipment. This course will include
a detailed explanation of the test requirements as stated in MIL-S-901D and as interpreted by NAVSEA 05P3. Shock qualification testing of prin-
cipal units, shock qualification by extension of principal units and shock testing of subsidiary components will be covered. Who should attend?
Attendees should include anyone involved in the acquisition, specification, review and approval of Navy shipboard equipment including PARMs
and LCMs and contracting officers, contractors having to deal with the Navy and wishing to supply shock qualified equipment to the Navy, Ship
Program Managers and Ship Logistic Managers responsible for the acquisition & maintenance of shock hardened Navy ships and shock qualifica-
tion test facilities.

MULTI-ACTUATOR TESTING AND CONTROL ~ MR. RUSS AYRES

This course will provide insights into the complexities involved in running vibration tests with more than one actuator. For the past 40 years, single
actuator vibration testing could generate motion along one axis. In the past 10 years, there has been widespread vibration testing using more than
one actuator, either in a single axis configuration or with multiple axes. The intent of multi-actuator vibration testing is to simulate our three-
dimensional world more realistically compared with single actuator testing. Multi-actuator vibration testing is sometimes called MIMO, short for
"Multiple Input Multiple Output". The course will cover spectral density matrices, phase/coherence relationships, coordinate transformations,
control system theory, not positive-definite conditions, good/bad fixture design, singularities in test equipment, and control of rotations and bend-
ing. A brief review of matrix operations will be provided.

RANDOM VIBRATION ANALYSIS AND SPECIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTS ~ DR. TOM PAEZ

Mechanical tests are performed on structures for a number of reasons. Among these are exploration of structural characteristics, attempts to prove
that structures and their components will survive specific environments, efforts to understand how structures and their components perform in
certain environments, etc. The practice of mechanical testing usually subjects structures to random vibration environments or shock environments,
and more rarely, swept sine or sine dwell environments. An attempt is usually made to match the test environment specification to the purpose of a
test. When the environment is random vibration and the purpose of the test is to understand how a structure performs in an environment or
whether or not the structure and its components will survive the environment, it is critical to specify the environment accurately. This tutorial starts
by discussing some background ideas in random vibration; it then proceeds to describe the approach used to estimate the spectral density of a ran-
dom process. A procedure for estimating confidence intervals on the spectral density is presented, next, and some rationales for selecting confi-
dence levels are discussed. Finally, the effect of random process non-Gaussianity on the confidence intervals of random processes is briefly dis-
cussed, along with an accurate method for analyzing non-Gaussian random processes. The entire presentation uses an ensemble of measured ran-
dom process realizations to demonstrate the operations presented.

EXPLICIT FEM ANALYSIS WITH NEI EXPLICIT BY NEI SOFTWARE ~ DR. LEE TAYLOR

NEi Software is introducing a new explicit FEA solver -- NEi Explicit. There are engineering events that are better suited to using an explicit FEA
solver rather than an implicit solver. The following types of conditions are indicative of explicit applications: speeds are typically very high, there
is a large deformation or large strain involved in the impact, there is material failure and material deletion from the model, and contact conditions
are very complex. Examples of simulations that can benefit from an explicit solver include crash simulations, jet engine bird strike, metal forming
processes, and many ballistic scenarios. NEi Software recommends NEi Explicit for these applications in place of NEi Nastran. NEi Explicit
forms no element stiffness matrices and has no global stiffness matrix so it works with an extremely small memory footprint. This means you can
solve problems with millions of degrees of freedom on a PC with a single processor. For even faster solutions, solve the problem in parallel using
widely available dual and quad core processors. NEi Nastran users can easily transition to NEi Explicit because it uses the complete general pur-
pose library of Nastran elements and is fully integrated with the NEi Nastran Editor. This class will introduce users to explicit FEM analysis and
provide a working knowledge of NEi Nastran Explicit. In addition, the class will follow some of the differences in formulations and assumptions
that are made in explicit analysis as compared to implicit analysis.

INTRODUCTION TO HAZARD-BASED RELIABILITY ANALYSIS ~ DR. GEORGE LLOYD

It is increasingly important to quantify the expected reliability of long-lived complex systems which are subjected to very non-stationary environ-
ments, arising for example from system relocations to disparate environments and the consequent exposure to shock and vibration. Quantifying
reliability and the uncertainty of its estimate under these scenarios is difficult using classical empirically-based approaches or strictly computational
damage-based modeling schemes. In this tutorial we seek to introduce attendees to the basics of a hazard-based technique which provides a frame-
work for advanced methodologies for accomplishing reliability estimates with quantified uncertainty. The ultimate goal of the method is to leverage
existing empirical data to construct surrogate populations and hazard estimates along desired covariate trajectories for reliability analysis. The scope
of the tutorial will be confined to an overview of several topics which lie at the core of this ultimate strategy. The topics consist of the selection of
reliability variables and a survey of empirical reliability estimators for censored reliability data, selection of covariates (factors which influence reli-
ability) and quantification of continuous and intermittent covariates as stochastic processes, and descriptions of the empirical hazard associated
with observed covariate histories in a parametric reliability framework suitable for more advanced work. The course will include worked examples
as allowed by time.

cussed. Simulation techniques for near-field and far-field pyroshocks are presented and include both pyrotechnic simulations and mechanical
simulations. Examples of actual test specifications and the resulting laboratory test configuration and measured results are discussed. References
and a bibliography of more detailed information are provided. Test Engineers, managers and practitioners who are responsible for pyroshock test-
ing will benefit from this course and its broad overview of pyroshock test technology and methods.

BASIC SPECTRUM ANALYSIS FOR PHYSICAL APPLICATIONS – PART I ~ DR. RONALD G. MERRITT
The single most important descriptor of the character of a stationary random process is the Autospectral Density Estimate (ASD). The process of
accurate determination and interpretation of the ASD estimate is termed spectral analysis and is essential for understanding the behavior of struc-
tures and structure components subject to random loading. This two-part tutorial is designed to provide a basic understanding and interpretation
of spectral analysis information obtained from the analysis of measurement data in physical applications. In particular, a broad range of techniques
will be introduced that will be helpful in understanding field and laboratory acquired dynamic measurements.

Part 1 of the tutorial will begin with a classification of forms of measurement time traces and the distinction between a “deterministic” time trace
and a “random” time trace. In addition the “statistical” approach to examining time traces will be clearly identified along with the probabilistic ap-
proach based upon ensemble considerations. Basic time trace descriptors will be reviewed, including the estimates of the time trace mean, mean-
square, autocorrelation function and probability density function. Brief discussion of a few basic stochastic processes will be provided including
bandlimited white noise, moving average and autoregressive. The major portion of Part 1 then will examine the principles of deterministic spectral
analysis including such topics as –
(1) Fourier theory based upon the four combinations of continuous/discrete time and continuous/discrete frequency
(2) bandlimited and time limited time traces
(3) the Parseval relationship
(4) signal aliasing
(5) the uncertainty principle
(6) convolution

PRACTICAL NONLINEAR ANALYSIS ~ MR. TONY ABBEY

The course is aimed at engineers who are just starting to use nonlinear FE dynamic analysis with impacting surfaces to investigate shock and vibra-
tion, or existing users who need some guidance as to practical usage. The examples use NEiNastran, but the technique and ideas presented are
generic. No background in dynamic analysis is required as the basics of modal analysis and non-linear transient analysis will be covered. Any theory
will be based on a practical engineering approach. The course will look at the background to dynamic analysis using modal methods, linear tran-
sient and nonlinear transient analysis. Finally the use of contact surfaces to model accurate impulsive loads is covered. The theoretical basis of the
method will be covered from a practical engineering perspective with the use of simple examples to illustrate the various stages. Practical guidelines
on carrying out a prior modal survey, estimating time step size and impact duration prior to the transient analysis will be shown. Several example
nonlinear analysis will be carried out using NEiNastran to illustrate the process. Full interpretation of the results will be given with attention paid
to understanding what are the design drivers in each case and what engineering judgments can be made from the data. Typical problems with
nonlinear analysis will be shown, traps to avoid and best practice. Finally a strategy for dealing with large models is presented. Model size and solu-
tion times are becoming ever larger, and the importance of reducing analysis and data extraction to practical limits is explored. Attendees will be
given a full set of notes including background modal analysis techniques.

DIGITAL DATA ACQUISITION FOR SHOCK AND VIBRATION APPLICATIONS ~

MR. STRETHER SMITH
This tutorial will provide participants with the knowledge required to use, specify, and evaluate digital data acquisition systems for shock- and vi-
bration-measurement applications. Principles of sampling and digitizing theory are presented and reinforced with practical examples from everyday
testing operations. Alias-error-protection strategies and the resulting data distortion will be discussed and the advantages (and disadvantages) of the
Sigma Delta/oversampling approach will be described in detail. Post-test analysis techniques to compensate for data distortions and to interpolate/
resample sparse data sets will be described and demonstrated. Finally, a set of tests for evaluation the quality and applicability of data acquisition
systems for shock and vibration will be described. The course is intended for people with all levels of expertise. Beginners will find that the course
builds from basics and that they will come away with the tools needed to acquire accurate data. Experienced participants will discover powerful
new ways to view the process that will result in more accurate and repeatable results from their experiments.

the tutorial will be made on Chapter 5, shock analyses in the plastic regime. Energy in the modes of vibration can be directly related to the shock
spectrum. This concept is very important because it means the energy in a system is bounded. Thus, plastic deformation or plastic work from
shock in an equipment structure is also bounded. After considering the energy in shock, plastic analyses in piping and foundations from shock
inputs will be presented. Analytical results will be compared to test data.

VIBRATION AND SHOCK TEST FIXTURE DESIGN ~ MR. WAYNE TUSTIN

Usually fabricated from magnesium or aluminum for lightness with rigidity, a fixture adapts the mounting provisions of a device under test (DUT)
to the armature of a shaker (for vibration testing) or to the table or anvil of a shock test machine (for shock testing). In a sense, the DUT side of
the fixture attempts to "represent" the hardware to which the DUT will attach in service. This tutorial will examine that goal and various design
and fabrication approaches to achieving that goal. Prior to first use, a new fixture should be evaluated experimentally. During use, DUT-fixture
and fixture-shaker or fixture-shock test machine bolting is critical. Between tests, the fixture should be stored properly.

KURT HARTSOUGH & MR. DOMENIC URZILLO
The MIL-S-901D Subsidiary Component Shock Testing and Alternate Test Vehicles course will cover the following areas; NAVSEA 05P3's cur-
rent policy for testing subsidiary components, Description of test environment requirements, Examples of recent successful test programs, Alter-
nate Test vehicle descriptions, Alternate Test Vehicle limitations, Discussions on Shock Spectra, Multi-Variable Data Reduction and Various Shock
Isolation Systems. This course is intended to give the necessary information to equipment designers and program managers who intend to shock
qualify COTS equipment that will require frequent upgrades due to obsolescence, equipment upgrades, change in mission, etc. Although not re-
quired, it is recommended that those attending this course also attend courses on Shock Policy, MIL-S-901D Testing and particularly MIL-S-901D
Extensions offered by the same instructors (Domenic Urzillo and Kurt Hartsough).

MIL-S-901D ENGINEERING TOPICS ~ MR. DOMINIC URZILLO

A wise man once said that Engineers should understand the derivations of their analytical tools, a technician just uses things. This
introductory course is a follow-on to the popular NAVSEAINST 9072.1A and MIL-S-901D Shock Qualification Courses and is aimed at provid-
ing the NAVSEA shock engineering community with deeper understanding of applied mathematical methods used in the MIL-S-901D equipment
shock qualification process. The course begins with elementary mathematic constructs such as real and complex numbers, geometry, calculus,
differential equations and linear algebra; and logically progresses to a discussion of the underlying mathematical methods used in equipment shock
qualification. Topics covered include elementary shock spectrum theory; discrete Fourier transforms and FFTs; orthogonal projections and their
relation to Fourier series and the least square fit of data (MDR); introduction to digital data filters including the Bessel filter; elementary Deck
Simulation Fixture (DSF) theory, elementary MWSM theory and practical shock test fixture design and analysis methods.

BASIC SPECTRUM ANALYSIS FOR PHYSICAL APPLICATIONS – PART II - MR. RON MERRITT
Part 2 is designed to provide the details on the practical application of ASD estimation to measurement time traces. The first topic considered is
application of analog and digital linear time invariant filters with their characteristics. This is followed by an extensive discussion of nonparametric
(Fourier based) ASD estimation including a thorough discussion of the errors inherent in such estimation. Three basic methods of estimation (and
window selection) will be discussed along with multitaper processing, frequency averaging and the properties of the spectrogram for detecting
time-varying amplitude/frequency character in time traces. In addition such topics as resampling and over-sampling will be addressed. Finally, har-
monic analysis will be introduced, whereby discrete components (sine waves) exist in measurement time traces as a result of cyclic phenomena.
Identification and estimation of the harmonic components will be considered in detail. A text accompanies the course along with an extensive set
of notes including MATLAB code for spectral analysis.

REVIEW OF STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS - DR. JOSHUA GORDIS

This tutorial will review the fundamental concepts in vibration and structural dynamics. Starting from single degree-of-freedom systems, we will
review the concepts of free and forced response and the role of damping in both. Impulse and frequency response will be discussed. Multi-degree
of freedom system will be discussed, and the significance of natural frequencies and modes shapes in both free and forced response will be re-
viewed. The treatment of damping (proportional and non-proportional) will be A qualitative review of finite element analysis (FEA) will be pre-
sented and computational procedures associated with FEA in structural dynamics will be discussed. These will include modal vs. direct integration,
model reduction, substructuring. Experimental modal analysis (modal testing) will be introduced.
The intended audience includes anyone who needs a refresher on the fundamentals of vibration and structural dynamics, or those people who need
familiarity with the concepts but have never had formal education in this area.

BEYOND THE SHOCK RESPONSE SPECTRUM (SRS): TEMPORAL & FREQUENCY MOMENTS,
PRODUCT MODEL, LEAST FAVORABLE RESPONSE, WAVELETS, KARHUNEN-LOEVE
EXPANSION, AND ENERGY METHODS - MR. DAVID SMALLWOOD
In practice shocks are often quite complicated oscillatory time histories with a large random component. By far the most common method for the
characterization of shocks is the shock response spectrum (SRS). The SRS was developed to reduce the complexity to a simple measure, that is, the
peak response of a single-degree-of-freedom system to the shock. One of the serious limitations of the SRS is that all temporal information is lost.
Several attempts have been make to reduce this limitation by specifying the duration of the shock. However the definition of the "duration" for a
complicated shock has not been consistent. Temporal moments provide a consistent framework to define the duration and other moments.
Fourier spectra can also be used to characterize shock, but again all temporal information is lost. The most general way to characterize a shock with
a large random component is with a time varying spectral density. However, we frequently have insufficient information to estimate this spectrum.
Bandlimited temporal moments can help bridge this gap.
The tutorial will introduce the temporal moments and discuss the theoretical implications. The uncertainty theorem will be discussed, and it will be
shown how this theorem limits the available information about a shock. Using the product model, a connection between the uncertainty parameter
and the variance in the energy estimates will be established. For a shock with a given rms duration, defined by the temporal moments, the uncer-
tainty theorem limits the frequency resolution, as defined by the rms bandwidth.
The tutorial will show how the first few bandlimited temporal moments can be used to characterize shock. This information can be used independ-
ently of the SRS, or used to supplement the SRS of a shock.
It will be shown how the product model can be used to synthesize realizations of a shock, which match the temporal moments. Examples will be
shown that suggest, that if the bandlimited temporal moments are matched, the SRS will also be matched. The realizations can be used for some
tests (for example, shaker shock) or can be used as inputs to analytical models to estimate response.
Wavelet transforms can also be used to characterize shocks. These techniques will be introduced as a method to decompose a transient into com-
ponent parts that are approximately bandlimited. The product of the bandwidth and duration is held approximately constant for each component.
Thus higher frequencies are resolved with good time resolution giving up frequency resolution while the lower frequencies are resolved with good
frequency resolution giving up time resolution. It is shown how the wavelet transform can correct some flawed shock data. The Harmonic Wavelet
Transform is introduced as an excellent tool for visualizing shocks in a time-frequency framework.

THE MEASUREMENT AND UTILIZATION OF VALID SHOCK AND VIBRATION DATA -

DR. PATRICK WALTER
Significant focus is often provided to applying sophisticated analysis techniques to the data resulting from shock and vibration tests. However,
inadequate focus is often provided to assuring that valid shock and vibration data are acquired in the first place. This tutorial attempts to correct
this deficiency. For the instrumentation novice it will provide an introduction to shock and vibration measurements, the physics of piezoelectric
and silicon based accelerometers, and motion characterization. For the experienced test technician or engineer it will provide additional insight
into topics such as optimized measurement system design, accelerometer and measurement system calibration, accelerometer mounting effects,
analog filtering, data validation, data utilization, and more. For the analyst or designer it will provide a series of simple observations and back of the
envelope calculations that he/she can make on data to validate its credibility before using it in product design.

EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS FOR SHOCK & VIBRATION CONTROL ~ MR. ALAN KLEMBCZYK & MR.
HERB LEKUCH
This presentation provides an outline of various applications and methods of implementing isolation, shock absorbing and damping within a wide
array of dynamic systems and structures. A significant visual representation is provided through the use of photos, videos, and graphical results that
demonstrate examples that have been proven effective and reliable in the past.

Additionally, key definitions and useful formulae are presented that will provide the analyst or systems engineer with an initial path forward with
respect to solving typical problems within the commercial, military, and aerospace sectors.

A wide range of isolation mounts and systems are covered including liquid dampers, elastomer and wire rope isolators, tuned mass dampers, and
engineered enclosures. Engineering guidelines are presented for the selection and evaluation of isolation control products. Protection of COTS
electronic equipment and probable damage levels are reviewed for the preparation of design and test specifications. Applications involve ship-
board, off-road vehicles and airborne projects. Included also are industrial equipment and seismic control of structures and secondary equipment.
Field and test data such as Mil-S-901D barge test measurements are presented and the use of Shock Response Spectra (SRS) for equipment assess-
ment as well as isolator analysis is discussed. Details and examples of shock and vibration analysis are presented along with case studies.

UNDEX ANALYSIS OF FLOATING STRUCTURES - DR. RAY DADDAZIO AND MR. FRED COSTANZO

This tutorial starts off with an introduction of why the analysis of floating structures to underwater explosions (UNDEX) loadings is of interest.
This is followed by a brief discussion of free-field UNDEX phenomena, followed by a more detailed description of physics-based UNDEX simu-
lation. Both coupled and decoupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems will be discussed. Next, a discussion of strategies employed in
simulating structural responses to UNDEX will be presented, starting with simple analytical tools, and progressing to more detailed finite element
analysis strategies. Issues associated with energy dissipation, frequency ranges of interest, and validation through comparison with existing test data
will be addressed. Finally, the highlights of this tutorial will be summarized, and where appropriate throughout each of the sections, example prob-
lems and lessons learned will be presented.

SHOCK TESTING—INTERMEDIATE LEVEL ~ MR. ANDY ANDERSON

Intermediate Shock Testing builds on the basic shock test courses recently offered at venues including the Institute of Environmental Sciences and
SAVIAC. A brief review of types of shocks, including classical waveform, transient, pyrotechnic, and seismic, will be examined. The problems of
measuring and analyzing shocks will be reviewed and some helpful tips will be offered. The course will expand into specific shock applications,
including Mil-S-901 Underwater Explosion, ballistic impact, and repetitive events. Additional topics, including shock LCEP development and
multi-axis shock testing will be reviewed. Various current forms of shock measuring devices and sensors will be reviewed along with analytical
approaches, including the Shock Response Spectrum, Psuedo-velocity, and filter theory. . The course is designed specifically for those who have
taken basic shock courses recently and for the more experienced engineer; significant student interaction will be expected.

PRACTICAL DDAM ANALYSIS - MR. TONY ABBEY

The course is aimed at engineers who are just starting to use the DDAM method, or existing users who need some guidance as to practical usage.
The examples use NEiNastran, but the technique and ideas presented are generic. No background in dynamic analysis is required as the basics of
modal analysis will be covered. Any theory will be based on a practical engineering approach.
The course will look at the background to the DDAM method, considering the evolution of the technique and the current specification. The theo-
retical basis of the method will be covered from a practical engineering perspective with the use of simple examples to illustrate the
various stages. Several example DDAM analysis will be carried out using NEiNastran DDAM solution to illustrate the process. Full interpretation
of the results will be given with attention paid to understanding what are the design drivers in each case and what engineering judgments can be
made from the data. Typical problems with DDAM analysis will be shown, traps to avoid and best practice.
Finally a strategy for dealing with large models is presented. The need to reach a target Modal Effective mass and the potential for many hundreds
of modes being required is critical issue in the Industry and is fully addressed. Attendees will be given a full set of notes including background
modal analysis techniques.

ENERGY METHODS FOR THE CHARACTERIZATION AND SIMULATION OF SHOCK AND

VIBRATION ~ MR. TIM EDWARDS

The shock response spectrum (SRS) is the most frequently used method to characterize shock in spite of its limitations. New methods using work
and energy are gaining popularity. Work and energy concepts are frequently used to reduce complex engineering problems to fundamental princi-
ples. In shock analysis, energy quantities can be derived that represent the energy delivered to a structure and the manner in which the structure
dissipates the energy delivered to it. The input energy is relatively independent of the structure, which makes it ideal for characterizing the input.
The response of the structure then depends on the input energy and the structural characteristics. This nicely decouples the problem.
We will derive the basic equations for the energy delivered to and absorbed by a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system. It will be shown how
the input energy can be used to characterize the shock. It will be shown how the method can be applied to SDOF systems with nonlinear damping
and stiffness. A brief discussion of the application to stationary random vibration and sine will be given. We will then show how modal decoup-
ling of multiple-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems will allow the same SDOF methods to be applied to MDOF systems. This
will help explain why the first mode is usually the mode that absorbs the most energy and is frequently the response that causes damage.
Next we will discuss the relationship between the energy input, the Fourier energy spectrum, and the pseudo-velocity SRS. The calculation of the
energy terms and the synthesis of time histories with a specified input energy will be discussed. Matlab functions for the calculations will be fur-
nished upon request.
Lastly we will discuss why the duration of the shock event should still be preserved. Temporal moments are suggested as an adequate method to
preserve the essential characteristics.
