Failure analysis for the clapper type relay under shock conditions

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

According to the failure mechanism of the clapper type relay caused by external shock excitation, a 3D finite element model of the clapper relay was built, and the transient responses subjected to shock excitation was simulated by Msc.Patran/Nastran. Shock responses, such as contact force response and loss contact are respectively analyzed under shock excitation with different magnitudes, which were testified by shock test over practical products. Furthermore, the relationship between size parameters and shock responses is investigated, and some valuable suggestions for the shock resistance optimization of the clapper relay are presented.
