Description
Summary:Acquiring and analyzing data from pyrotechnic tests is one of the most difficult tasks in the vibration, sound and shock world. The nature of the motions produced by explosive events makes the measurement process very difficult, and as a result, it is very easy to produce data that look good but are still wrong. One of the critical problems is that there are no universally accepted strategies that can be used for pyrotechnic data acquisition and analysis. There ate several 'standards,' but none explicitly describes the processes or procedures required to produce useful, accurate, repeatable results.
