Dynamic Testing Facts
The goal or shock testing is to measure the device’s response time.
Vibrations have been known to cause excessive wear, loosen fasteners, loosen connections, damage components, and cause devices to malfunction.
Equipment designed for rugged or hostile environments needs to withstand a lot of vibration without breaking down or wearing out prematurely.
