The focus of this work will be to simulate a harsh, blast environment on a space structure. Data from a reverse Hopkinson bar (RHB) test is used to generate the response to a symmetric, distributed load. The RHB generates a high-amplitude, high-frequency content, concentrated pulse that excites components at near-blast levels. The transfer functions generated at discrete points, with the RHB, are used to generate an experimental model of the structure, which is then used in conjunction with the known pressure distribution, to estimate the component response to a blast. The shock spectrum of the predicted response and the actual response compared well in two of the three cases presented.
