Taylor Devices, Inc. Analysis and Simulation Capability
Taylor Devices provides our customers state of the art analytical
capability for shock and vibration simulation. The engineering staff
has performed systems definition and analysis for all branches of
the Department of Defense, as well as numerous industrial customers.
Our exclusive Shock Data Base of Transient Pulses includes test
records of most major shock events of this century. Examples include
seismic effects of major earthquakes, vehicle crash histories, conventional
and special weapons detonation, underwater shock, U.S. Navy shock
test machine simulation, spacecraft launch transients, equipment
transport and handling shock, and generic transient shock wave forms
for equipment design. Simulation software features Taylor Devices'
proprietary TSIS code (Taylor Shock Isolation Simulation). TSIS
provides a robust and cost effective means to analyze flexible structures
subjected to shock, using finite element techniques. All known shock
inputs can be accommodated, including weapons transients with their
associated fast rise times. TSIS also has the ability to address
virtually all types of isolation elements, including those with
high degrees of non-linearity.
Computer Aided Design (CAD) capability is provided by a Cascade
Electronics System, brought on line in 1988, and two IBM AutoCAD
Systems, brought on line in 1993 and 1996.
A professional staff of 15 is maintained at the facility. Included
in the group are ten mechanical, two civil, one electrical, one
industrial, and one manufacturing engineer. Engineering offices
are located both at the main Taylor Devices facility and in Santa
Monica, California. The current staff experience totals 215 years.
At present, some 90 U.S. Patents are attributed to this staff in
the fields of Shock Isolation, Vibration Control, Suspension Design,
and other related energy absorption subjects. Technical reports
by the staff have been published by the SAE, AISE, ASCE, NCEER,
Journal of Shock and Vibration, National Science Foundation, Shock
and Vibration Symposium, United States Air Force, United States
Navy, and the United States Marine Corps, in addition to numerous
other technical publications.
