Shock and Vibration in Transportation Engineering

Vibration, Mechanical Shock, and Impact

Time-varying forces and accelerations occur in daily life, and are commonly experienced, for example, in an elevator and in aircraft, railway trains, and automobiles. All of these situations involve motion of the whole body transmitted through a seat, or from the floor in the case of a standing person, where the human response is commonly related to the relative motion of body parts, organs, an...

Computer Shock and Vibration Concerns

INTRODUCTION Digital microcomputers are ubiquitous. Computers inside the space shuttle control its descent from orbit until it slows to Mach 1, the speed of sound. At this time, the pilots gradually take over control and prepare for landing. Computers inside satellites provide a myriad of functions. For example, a satellite computer might record sensor data for later transmission to Earth groun...
