evaluation
of the
possibility
of
realization
of a
specified shock
on a
given
test
facility
(characterized
by its
limits
of
velocity
and of
displacement). These abacuses
are
made
up of
straight line segments
on
logarithmic scales (Figure 7.16):
-AA',
corresponding
to the
limitation
of
velocity:
the
condition
v
m
< V
L
(V
L
=
acceptable maximum velocity
on the
facility
considered) results
in a
relationship
of the
form
x
m
t <
constant
(independent
of p);
- CC, DD,
etc, greater slope corresponding
to the
limitation
in
displacement
for
various values
of p (p =
0.05, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50
and
1.00).
A
particular shock will
be
thus realizable
on
shaker only
if the
point
of co-
ordinates
T, x
m
(duration
and
amplitude
of the
shock considered)
is
located under
these lines, this
useful
domain increasing when
p
increases.

Influence
of
the
shape
of
pre-
and
post-pulses
The
analysis
of the
velocity
and the
displacement varying with time associated
with
some simple shape shocks shows that [LAL 83]:
- For all the
shocks having
a
vertical axis
of
symmetry,
the
residual displacement
is
zero.
- For a
shock
of
given amplitude, duration
and
shape,
the
maximum
displacement
during movement
is
most important with half-sine pre-
and
post-
shocks.
It is
weaker
in the
case
of the
triangles, then rectangles.
