The study of shock response and pyroshock phenomena is central to the design and verification of aerospace systems. In these environments, structures and sensitive devices are exposed to intense, ...

The shock response spectrum (SRS) is a fairly simple concept that has been in use for years. 1,2,3 But occasionally it falls victim to an inappropriate test specification meant to exploit SRS features ...

All flight hardware used in rocket engines and space craft must be tested to insure it can withstand pyrotechnic shocks that occur during launch, stage separations, and throughout the spacecraft ...
