The United States Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) operates what’s called the Occupant Protection Laboratory at the Selfridge Air National Guard Base, located in Southeastern Michigan.

Continuing from Part 2 of this series...after establishing improved confidence in identifying tire effects on vehicle ride quality, I finally decided it was time to replace my tires all together.

The Artemis Core Stage was safely transported 900 miles from NASA Stennis in Mississippi, starting in the Gulf of Mexico - sailing around the tip of Florida - and arriving at the Kennedy Space Center on the Atlantic Ocean.

Mitigating Vibration Input with Engineered Packaging Designs If you need to move products from their point of manufacture to their end-use destinations, you can expect that they’ll be exposed to vibration input during that journey.

Natural Frequency and Resonance Products and their sub-components, as well as packaging materials and structures possess what is called natural frequency.

A helpful way to think of vibration is in terms of sound. Though the audible frequency spectrum is higher than the transport vibration spectrum - sound is vibration.

When transporting products from one location to another, we use packaging materials and technologies to protect them from the various hazards present within the distribution environment.

One key consideration for Drop Testers is their ability to deliver “flatness of drop.

Drop Tester – Impact not a Drop  The likelihood of free fall drops within the supply chain has decreased over time due to the growth of automation.

Calibration delivers the confidence you need in your instrumentation and sensors - and the measurements you make with them, because even the most robust and reliable measurement systems can drift over time.

All Lansmont SAVER products are full waveform devices. Additionally, all SAVERs utilize internal triaxial accelerometers, which means they measure acceleration in the three translational directions - X, Y, and Z. Another way of typically describing those directions are up-and-down, side-to-side, and front-to-back.

Environmental shocks typically possess a half-sine characteristic. If we project that half-sine characteristic into a theoretical full period sine wave, we’re able to determine the relative frequency content associated with a shock pulse.

When shipping products from one location to another, you want high confidence that upon arrival, the product has maintained its original integrity without experiencing any damage along the way.

Environmental data recorders are powerful tools that can help address challenges associated with moving products through the supply chain.
