Team 18: Desktop High-Striker
Above: A test fixture that allows for the acquisition of data through the use of various sensors to characterize an impact to the system.
The Desktop High-Striker measures an impact utilizing a piezoelectric transducer, a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL), and an optical measurement system (OMS). The input to the fixture mimics any impact similar to a shock and is measured by the piezoelectric transducer and conveyed through the VCSEL and OMS with an intermediary data acquisition system.
