Shock Pulse Shaping in a Small-Form Factor Velocity Amplifier

This theme of this paper is the design and characterisation of a velocity amplifier (VAMP) machine for high-acceleration shock testing of micro-scale devices. The VAMP applies multiple sequential impacts to amplify velocity through a system of three progressively smaller masses constrained to move i...
