Shock Control White Paper Available

“Shock Control for Portable Electronics,” a white paper created by E-A-R Specialty Composites, is a systematic review of the underlying science of shock and damping that brings designers of portable electronics up to speed on how to approach shock control in small multi-featured electronics products.

The paper reviews relationships of drop height, floor surfaces, product materials and other factors to shock events. Useful equations for using the shock transmissibility spectra for varying shock inputs and damping situations are included, among other formulas that help determine best approaches to damping. Examples from PC designs, hard drives, and LCD protection are used to illustrate the relative benefits of highly damped elastomer materials in protecting portable electronics during shock events. Design tips on how to best incorporate effective damped mounts into product designs are also covered.
