Shock Response Spectrum (SRS)
The Shock Response Spectrum was first conceived by Dr. Maurice Biot and is described in his Ph.D. thesis published in 1932. Therefore, the SRS has been in existence for a long time. It has been used to characterize the frequency response of shock environments to estimate the maximum dynamic response of structures. The SRS is commonly used to characterize the frequency content of an acceleration time-history record. Shock response spectrum analysis is the maximum response of a series of single degree of freedom systems having the same damping to a given transient signal.
