  • System and method for simulating high-intensity pyrotechnic shock
    Patent number: 8429975
    Abstract: A system for simulating a pyrotechnic shock may include an electrical power amplifier, a shaker, and a resonance beam. The electrical power amplifier may be configured to amplify a transient signal waveform representing a desired shock response spectrum (SRS). The shaker may be configured to generate a shock pulse in response to the amplified signal waveform. The resonance beam may be mounted to the shaker and may be configured to magnify the shock pulse.
    Type: Grant
