Similarity criteria for shocks
5
Unit A & Unit B will be considered as similar, when all of the following apply
Architecture similarity
Overall architecture is unchanged
Mounting configuration is unchanged
Mounting configuration of the PCB, and its dimensions, are unchanged
Dynamic similarity
Main natural frequencies of the unit B are within 10% of the Unit A, with similar mode
shapes
Main natural frequencies of each PCB are within 10% of the original frequency, with
similar mode shapes

Complementary activities to support design of new units
11
Activities described to increase heritage can be adapted to the derisking of
shock sensitive components in new mechanical/electrical architectures
Experimental approach
12
Objectives of early experimental shock tests can be:
To increase the shock heritage on some parts to cover the new shockUnit A
specification if no QM is foreseen by the concerned program
Test vehicle to bring sufficient shock heritage to components not covered by a
previous shock qualification

Experimental approach – Examples - Case of Modular Equipment
13
Shock Test on complete Mechanical Model (when available)
Development of a technological module with the concerned components families
Integration in a Mechanical Model, representative in terms of:
Dimensions: width, height, length depends on number of modules
Global modal behaviour: main natural frequency Using of ballasted other modules
Local modal behaviour: PCB’s resonnances Representative module/PCB

17
Following example shows a unit for which the shock specification has a
plateaus at 5090g
Final architecture is made of a monolithic mechanical structure using of the
same mechanical part
Technological PCB is developed to mount the critical components at their exact
foreseen location
Shock sensitive components are present in the technological vehicle taking into
