Fundamentals of Shock Testing
|
|
This course provides a practical introduction to shock testing. Although some theory is reviewed, the primary focus of the class is to lead the practicing engineer or technician to clearly grasp of the types of shock that can be imparted to a product, sources of shock requirements, available shock test equipment, and correct interpretation of data.
