The dynamic performance of a 250 Hz resonant plate shock system which simulates pyrotechnic shock environments on micro-electrical components is evaluated. A series of experiments recording strain rate histories and acceleration time histories at several plate locations were conducted. This empirical data is used to compare the analytical results obtained from a finite element based numerical simulation. The comparison revealed a good correlation between experimental and analytical results.
