Offered by the SHOCK AND VIBRATION INFORMATION ANALYSIS CENTER (SAVIAC) --a jointly-funded organization sponsored by the Army, Navy, Air Force, DTRA, and the DOE laboratories -- this five-day course concentrates on:
"PRACTICAL SHOCK ANALYSIS AND DESIGN"

About the Course
At the first Shock and Vibration Symposium in 1947, mechanical shock was defined as "a sudden and violent change in the state of motion of the component parts or particles of a body or medium resulting from the sudden application of a relatively large external force, such as a blow or impact." Since then the specific words used have changed somewhat but the meaning remains the same. Most analysts treat shock as a transient vibration. No matter how it is described or what source produced it, the effects of mechanical shock on structures and equipment create major design problems for a wide variety of systems.
This course will provide a comprehensive treatment of practical shock design and analysis with special emphasis on applications related to the design of ship structures and equipment for shock loads produced by underwater explosions.
Participants in this course will have an opportunity to increase their knowledge and understanding of the analytical and experimental tools that are available for shock design and qualification particularly with respect to requirements that are imposed for shipboard equipment. The lectures will provide a basic review of vibration and shock theory and will present the analytical and experimental methodology in the context of particular design applications. Analytical lectures will emphasize the physical significance of the results. Examples and case histories will be used as illustrations of design approaches; workshop problems that involve class participation will be used to advantage throughout the course. Class members will be encouraged to propose real design problems. The instructors will provide guidance for solutions or the problems may be used as class exercises.
Although this course is aimed primarily at shock design applications on ships, the analysis and design techniques presented are equally applicable to problems related to design for seismic loads or blast induced ground shock. Thus, engineers in these related areas may find the course to be useful. For all who participate, the course will provide a comprehensive coverage of shock design practice and a solid basis for further exploration of shock technology. |
