Shock Tests

Mechanical shock tests are performed to investigate the reaction of the machines and equipment produced in the aerospace, defense and automotive sectors to shock vibrations. In order to simulate the actual shock properties on the machines and devices produced in these sectors, it is necessary to know some parameters such as maximum acceleration values, shock wave length and time to reach maximum acceleration.

In order to perform shock tests, special shock test systems consisting of a welding and mechanical system that will produce shock waves are required. In general, the simplest method of shock tests is the drop test method. In this method, the devices or materials to be tested are dropped in a controlled manner from a certain height to a surface. In these tests, shock acceleration devices (accelerometers) with a very high vibration frequency and resistant to high acceleration levels are preferred to measure the acceleration applied to the mass under test.

In the shock tests applied in the automotive sector, the crash test method is mostly used. This test is carried out by hitting a set or wall at a certain speed. In this test method, very special accelerometer devices are placed both on the vehicle and on the mannequin.

Generally in mechanical shock tests TS EN 60068-2-27 Basic test methods for resistance to environmental conditions - Part 2: Tests - Test Ea and guideline: The mechanical impact standard is based.

During the specific test studies, the current regulations and the relevant standards published by many domestic and foreign organizations are taken into consideration. In line with the needs of the enterprises, our company also performs shock tests within the framework of specific tests.

Meanwhile, our organization has been accredited by ÖSAS accreditation organization in accordance with TS EN ISO / IEC 17025 General Requirements for the Qualification of Testing and Calibration Laboratories and serves within this framework.
