1D Dropped Shock

This calculator will determine the shock response of a dropped 3D box weight with corner springs and viscous dampers. The box can be tilted in 2 directions to simulate a corner drop.

Model summary

Inputs: User inputs weight, spring rate and viscous damping at each corner and drop height.
Outputs: Natural frequency, critical viscous damping and % of critical and initial contact time.
Outputs: The CG acceleration is plotted versus time. The corner loads are also plotted versus time.
Hint:The configuration and results can be saved to a JSON file for future use.
Use case: quick what-ifs, sensitivity, and early sizing.
