DO-160 static loading vs impact loading
DO160 section 7 not only contains the procedure for "shock/crash safety" test, which involve dynamic response from the structure, but also for "sustained" test, i.e. those for which the inertial load is applied as a "static" condition. "Sustained" tests are basically acceleration tests, often...- andyfe

Servocontrol Vibration Analysis
The most critical position depends on the vibration spectrum of the service environment, first of all: is it airplane or helicopter environment? Typical spectrums can be found in RTCA/DO160 section 8 or MIL-STD-810. Typically, you have to ensure the resonance frequencies of your item are never...- andyfe
