In product qualification programs, shock testing is used to measure the impact of sudden acceleration caused by explosion, drop, or collision. Our labs perform shock testing to prepare products for harsh industrial, transportation and military environments. 

Shock test procedure 

Though sometimes compared to vibration testing, shock uses a specific type of force to simulate real-world use. Using an accelerometer to calculate speed and force, components are subjected to loads up to 50,000 g for less than one second. Our labs then evaluate the product for damage and stress, and to ensure that it can meet the demands of its work environment.

JVIDÊÓƵ’s team of experts perform testing to a variety of industrial and military standards, including RTCA DO-160, MIL-STD-810, DEF STAN 00-35, and EN 60068. Our engineers can also support complex or custom projects by assisting with protocol development or specification selection. 

Shock and bounce testing

JVIDÊÓƵ's shock and bounce testing services provide the data you need to simulate transportation conditions, ensure product safety and equipment function in extreme environments, and replicate in-service conditions.

• Speed range - Up to 5000 Hz 
• Environment - Shock force up to 210 G
• Capacity - Up to 15,000 lbs force

Shock testing methods

Shock tests are used to measure the impact of sudden acceleration caused by a collision, drop, or explosion to simulate the conditions a product can face in its lifetime. Our labs are able to perform multiple types of mechanical shock testing requirements. Some of the methods that we routinely test include:

• Operational shock and crash safety
• Gunfire simulation
• Half sine (shock pulse) testing
• Decaying sine wave testing
• Bump/shock testing
• Thermal shock testing
• Shock and impulse testing
• Drop testing
• Impact testing

For projects that require specialized set-ups, our experts can assist in creating a test plan that will best suit your needs. Let us know if you have a specific project in mind.
