Analysis of a Forklift Handling Course and Multiple Propositions with Evaluation of Laboratory Simulations

The study presented by Mrs. Anne-Sophie Bonnin at the 29th IAPRI Symposium in June 2019 focuses on the importance of shock response spectra (SRS) in the physics of packaging systems. This article explores how SRS contribute to better understanding and simulating transient events in forklift handling paths.

Understanding Shock Response Spectra

The SRS, key elements of this research, are defined, and their role in studying the effects of shocks and vibrations is explained. This section highlights their importance in understanding the complex interactions within packaging systems.

Data collection methodology

The methodology used to collect data during forklift handling paths is presented. Standards and protocols followed, such as ISTA 3B and ASTM D6055, are detailed to contextualize data collection.

Data exploitation and analysis

This part describes the techniques employed to simulate transient events in the laboratory, including the use of vibrating tables and SRS controls. The analysis of collected data is addressed, highlighting the simulation methods used.

Results and discussion

The results obtained are synthesized and discussed. A comparison is made between time-domain controls and SRS controls, emphasizing the implications and validity of the results in the specific context of forklift handling.

Perspectives and conclusions

In conclusion, this article addresses the future implications of this research and provides an overall perspective on the importance of SRS in the physics of packaging systems. Acknowledgments and a general conclusion conclude this study.
