Shock severity comparison using Shock Response Spectrum and Pseudo-Velocity Shock Spectrum in LabVIEW

Abstract

This article deals with the comparison of Shock Response Spectrum (SRS) and Pseudo Velocity Shock Spectrum (PVSS). Publicly available data as well as values from an implemented experiment are used. The experiment consisted of acquisition of accelerations when a model car hit various braking pads. The data was recorded and evaluated in LabVIEW and for this purpose the PVSS needed to be implemented in same programing environment. The results show that the impact severity rating can be seen from SRS as well from PVSS, but on the 4CP paper the results are much easier to spot.
