The article presents the research results on the influence of variable shock conditions, such as temperature and water, thus reflecting shock atmospheric conditions during freezing and thawing, on the properties of samples produced using 3D printing technology from commonly used materials such as ABS, HIPS, PLA, and ASA. Understanding how different environmental conditions affect the quality, reliability, and durability of 3D prints can help to optimize the printing process and provide valuable information about their application possibilities. Tests related to the strength of the materials, such as static tensile testing, Charpy impact testing, and evaluation of structures, were carried out using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Changes in chemical properties were measured by performing tests such as FTIR and TGA. Variations in chemical properties were measured by performing tests such as FTIR and TGA. One shock cycle lasting 7 days was sufficient to alter the properties of 3D prints, with the extent of changes depending on the material, as summarized in the test results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we propose a bistable shock structure based on the thermal actuation principle, which overcomes the response time limitation of heating and cooling in typical thermal actuators and enables a rapid release of energy. Thus, force with a steep rising edge can be applied on a target. Using a bistable shock structure to generate on-chip shock loads, we propose an automated and resettable method for shock testing of microstructures. We characterize the microscale shock process by high-speed camera and finite element simulation (FEM). The method can simulate the dynamic response of key structures in MEMS devices under mechanical shock conditions, and therefore, can be used to evaluate shock fracture strength of microstructures.

The application of gyroscopes in harsh environments has always been a hot topic. As a high-quality material for manufacturing gyroscopes, quartz crystals need to be designed and optimized to meet the normal operation of gyroscopes in harsh environments. The Micro Electronics Mechanical System(MEMS) quartz tuning forks resonant gyroscope is one of the quartz gyroscopes. The elastic structure (V-shaped beam) between the anchor support point and tuning forks plays a vital role in the MEMS quartz tuning forks resonant gyroscope. This structure determines the natural frequency of the gyroscope, and more importantly, determines the shock resistance of the gyroscope structure. In this article, the MEMS quartz tuning forks gyroscope with different V-shaped beam thicknesses are simulated and analyzed by finite element analysis simulation software. After the modal analysis and shock simulation (the half-cycle sine shock pulse with amplitude of 1500 g (g is the acceleration of gravity) and duration of 2 ms in the six shock directions), the results show that when the beam thickness is 80 μm, the maximum stress is 94.721 MPa, which is less than the failure stress of quartz crystal. The gyroscope's shock resistance is verified through shock testing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
