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 />

So should we test at bounce and wheel hop<br />

freq.?<br />
