Booth 202/203 | Dallas, TX | November 3-7, 2024
PCB® and Endevco® manufacture leading-edge shock accelerometer designs that are contributing to the improved measurement of severe mechanical shock.
Stop by Booth 202/203 at SAVE to speak to our experienced staff about the best sensors for your testing needs or check out one of our presentations, see details below.
We also design cutting edge blast pressure sensors. Our sensors can operate in adverse environments, have the ability to drive long cables, and have high frequency response and durability to meet the demands of shock wave, blast and explosive testing.
Chris Sensor (Siemens) & Bob Metz (PCB Piezotronics)
This tutorial will cover the fundamental concepts of shaker shock testing, from field data acquisition to Classic Shock and Shock Response Spectrum (SRS) wavelet synthesis in a vibration controller. Shock data acquisition and analysis, classic shock pulses, SRS concepts, SRS and Pseudo Velocity Shock Spectrum (PVSS) data analysis, Fatigue Damage Spectrum, a review of Classic Shock and SRS test methods in MIL-STD-810H (including the "new" method of Te and TE), shock test tailoring and SRS wavelet synthesis for shaker SRS testing will all be discussed during the tutorial. A segment covering specialty shock sensors and instrumentation will also be presented. Topics will be reinforced with live demonstrations of data acquisition and shaker testing. Attendee interaction, questions and discussion are welcome and encouraged.

When researchers collect poor blast pressure data, they often conclude "it must be the gauge!" Truth be known, sensors rarely insert themselves into a blast test. Instead, they bravely go into whatever location the test engineer commands, often producing poor data or worse, experiencing an untimely death. These brave, and costly, soldiers deserve better!
