Shock Testing Services
Our shock testing engineers will condition, plot and help you analyze up to 128 channels of real time data - Shock Response Spectrum (SRS), Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) or modal analysis.
Classical Shock Testing
Classical Shock Testing is accomplished using many facilities here at DTB. The typical shock testing event can be performed on our Unholtz-Dickie T-4000 and T-1000 vibration testing systems. These Vibration Testing systems coupled with 360KVA of amplifier power permits the system to achieve shock testing levels of over 100Gs.
For tests that required higher levels or longer duration, DTB has additional mechanical shock testing machines. Using these shock testing facilities, levels of 3000 G and 4 mSec, half sine shocks have been developed for our customers. Longer duration shock testing pulses have also been obtained. These long duration pulses range from over 1 second in duration using our Catapult facility to 100 mSec.
Modern engineering techniques often call for unusual and difficult shock testing and vibration testing requirements. However, DTB's staff of highly skilled engineers and technicians have years of experience in setting up and running these types of dynamic tests.
Pyrotechnic Shock Testing
Our Shock Testing group has developed and refined the ringing plate method of producing repeatable Shock Response Spectrums (SRS) to over 32,000 Gs. Our pyrotechnic shock testing facilities and mechanical shock testing machines (small and medium weight) can be tailored to produce the required shock pulse.
These shock testing facilities can produce this high level as well as lower level ringing out to 10,000 Hz.
The knee of the SRS can be adjusted from 1000Hz to 2000Hz to meet the demands of your pyrotechnic shock testing requirements.
In our lab, the test item size is NEVER
an Issue. Items as small as an integrated circuit to as large as 3400 kgs (7,500 lbs), are subjected to various shock testing methods, such as the shaking profile of a truck on a potholed road, the shock of a torpedo hitting a submarine or the controlled explosions on a spacecraft.
Hammer Shock Testing
DTB has Medium weight hammer shock as well as light weight hammer shock testing facilities,
which are both Navy Certified and approved.
These shock testing facilities are totally capable
of performing
Mil-S-901 test requirements.
