On Improving and Extending the Design Shock Spectra Used in DDAM (dynamic Design Analysis Method)

Abstract

The Dynamic Design Analysis Method (DDAM), introduced by Belsheim and O'Hara of the Naval Research Laboratory, requires design shock spectra as inputs. To date, these values have been obtained from a limited number of test results and their applicability is limited to very heavy internal components. It is the purpose of this note to indicate how this limitation can be relaxed and how the presently used spectra can be improved.
