Talk:Shock response spectrum

Jargon

This article is full of undefined jargon terms that make it unintelligible to the non-specialist reader. Can somebody please help sort it out? I would atually like to know what a shock spectrum is! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.118.95.215 (talk) 23:04, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

As an engineer I found this page to be quite helpful. The jargon used is unavoidable due to the nature of the subject. In order to fully understand SRS you must take a vibrations course which you can only understand after years of advanced math. Surely one article can’t be expected to do that for you. That said, I would like to hear more about how the graph that you end up getting is actually applied to a structure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.171.248.34 (talk) 13:55, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Equations

Equations would be nice! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdrsparky (talk • contribs) 16:51, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Inaccurate and incomplete

This article is ridiculously poor. I am a professional vibrations engineer so I have dealt with the topic in some detail. This article lacks both accuracy and technical breadth. There are quite a few personal opinions listed on this page. For example, the comment on SRS not being a spectra ("Just because something is plotted against frequency..."). Though this article cites Harris/Piersol as a reference, it actually does not follow the content described there (Harris specifies exactly why it is a spectra). I recommend no one follow the content in any detail at the moment. 70.183.90.130 (talk) 20:31, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

At your suggestion, I just deleted the claim that SRS is not a spectrum. Thanks! If you have other specific suggestions please write them here, or fix them yourself if you prefer! (PS: I didn't write the article.) --Steve (talk) 15:07, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
