Time compressed, pseudo-random vibration profiles, also known as Power Spectral Density (PSD) summaries have been the predominant method of specifying vibration in the packaging industry, whether a company is trying to simulate conditions present in over-the-road trailers, railcars, or even aircraft. These profiles have been in existence for decades and have been an effective tool in helping our industry understand the distribution environment and in the development of efficient packaging solutions. Packaging developers can use a number of various industry standards that are specific to the vehicle type they want to simulate. Those that don’t want to use an industry average can create and use their own. Gathering the field data to create these vibration profiles is a time consuming, expensive and labor-intensive process. There is also a limit to their capabilities and recent sustainable practices have shown that these long-standing methods may not always be the best tool a Packaging Engineer has at their disposal when designing protective solutions. For the packaging industry, current vibration equipment used is entirely dependent on these profiles. The purpose of this research project is to analyze a simulation program that will reproduce the vibrational forces in over-the-road trailers without having to go through the process of recording the real-world vibrations that a vehicle will produce.
