MIL-S-901

[izax1]

Hi

Does anyone have experience with shock loads from MIL-S-901 testing?
We have been asked to do an analysis of ahip board equipmnet mounted in a navy vessel. What g-levels do we apply??

Thanks for any help.

It depends:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIL-S-901

has a reasonable first level explanation of what's going on. It depends on what the equipment is and what it's for.

The g loads are extremely high, in the hundreds of g's, since they represent the effects of explosions, etc., during an attack on the vessel. There are several publications that go along with MIL-S-901 -- Procedures for Conducting Shock Tests on Navy Class HI (High Impact) Shock Machines for Lightweight Equipments by E.W. Clements pub. 1982 is one. Shipboard Shock and Navy Devices for its Simulation E.W. Clements pub. 1972 is another. The latter shows a couple of shock curves.

Presumably, your equipment is non-essential, else they'd require an actual test.

TTFN (ta ta for now)
I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!
