Container Cushioning Design Engineer Users Manual. (HP-9810A Version) Volume II.

Abstract

A cushioning system is an interface device which isolates a protected item from the shock loads which develop in its external environment. Such a system is required when the protected item cannot survive the shock loads imposed by the external environment, unless these loads are attenuated by some form of cushioning system. The design of a cushioning system, therefore, involves stipulations concerning both the item to be protected and the external environment. These two stipulations of how much shock an item can survive and how much shock it is expected to experience in its environment are questions that must be answered in the design of any cushioning system.
