EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING SHOCK RESPONSE

Attempts to interpret most measured shock response data are always difficult and frequently futile. These problems stem from attempts to interpret the measured response data in terms of the primary parameter of measurement (acceleration or velocity) whereas the parameter most readily related to the actual structure is that of differential displacement across structural elements. Numerous illustrations from a successful measurement program, and various arguments are offered to justify this contention.
