Abstract

An impact machine (air gun) is used to reproduce high frequency pyroshock tests. The complexity of the tests cause low repeatability and can result in lengthy test setup time and out-of-tolerance tests. In order to better understand the behavior of this test, a study using experimental and numerical simulation is performed to identify the test parameters that affect the repeatability.
