Light Weight H.I. Shock Machine Acceleration Measurements on Typical Auxiliary Mounting Arrangements

Abstract

Measurements of acceleration on different mounting plates used with the light weight H. I. (High Impact) shock testing machine have shown the maximum accelerations to be dependent upon the mounting plate used. This report will include the results of acceleration measurements at specified points on available typical mounting plans. Accelerations were measured by means of a quartz crystal accelerometer constructed by Westinghouse. Methods of measurement are similar to those used by Westinghouse and General Electric and will be completely described in a forthcoming report on Shock Measurements to be issued by the Naval Research Laboratory.
