Functional shock test per mil-std-810 - equivalent static load

[mechengdude]

Does anyone have a rule of thumb or calculation for the static equivalent load due to a shock test? This isn't a drop test but a shock simulating abuse during the products life. For example 40g's at 6 ms.

I have always used the g load times the mass of the part and never had any problem but this methodolgy is being questioned and I have no text to reference.

thanks

Thanks for checking that, magicme, I wasn't searching to see if you were wrong, but it's nice to be right every once in a while
