    Compare 2 mechanical shock scenarios with different magnitude and time

    Would the shock magnitude - the 100 g's - correspond to the peak value or the RMS value of the sine wave?

    Compare 2 mechanical shock scenarios with different magnitude and time

    For example, How does one compare 100 g's for 6 milliseconds to 45 g's for 11 milliseconds. These are two different shock scenarios with different magnitudes and times, so how can I compare them? If I have something that is shock rated at 100 g's for 6 ms does this imply that it will withstand...

    Internal stresses of an accelerating body

    Homework Statement Refer to image attached. Lets say I have a deformable solid that is being accelerated by a force that is equally distributed along the back face of the Main Body that is drawn in the picture. Attached to this Main Body is a Wing. At high accelerations, there will be inertial...
