Hi all,
I am a student designing a camera fixture for my senior design project. We are halfway through our project right now and we are trying to do some validation stuff for our fixture.
One of the requirements for our fixture is for it to withstand 6 g's of shock during shipping/transportation etc. the whole fixture sits on one large base plate and most of the shock on the system can be modeled as though it is acting directly on this base plate. I have a few questions regarding this.
a) Any suggestions on what might be the most effective way to do this?
b) 6 gees is acceleration but obviously I can model it as a force as well. Any advice on what is better
c) I was thinking of using ADAMS software to model the shock but have no clue what I would input to mimic the 6 gees of shock.
Any advice on this would be helpful. Thank you
Of course we could just do it once our prototype is ready however this might not be the best idea because if it does not withstand that force then our model will just collapse and that will be bad.
