A new shock test sled has been developed to simulate shocks up to 2250 g peak amplitudeand up to 250 ft/sec velocity change. The sled is adjustable to provide haversine shapedshock pulses with durations ranging from 4 milliseconds to 15 milliseconds utilizing avariable stack of phenolic and felt programmer material, and it allows for rapid changeoverfrom one desired shock pulse to another. Finite element analysis was used to iterateon parameters for the programmer element to ensure success with the first hardware andto analyze a critical clamping element.
