Sine Wave Displacement Input<br />
Sinusoid, most Common Input form for Shock Testing<br />
Displacement = X sin (�t)<br />
Velocity = V = X � cos (� t)<br />
Where w = 2 * � * Freq.<br />
Peak Velocity = X * �<br />

Corresponding Velocity Input<br />
Typically test at a given stroke and vary<br />
frequency.<br />
<strong>Suspension</strong> normally respondes at forcing<br />
freq. and natural frequencies.<br />
So should we test at bounce and wheel hop<br />
freq.?<br />
