FOREWORD

1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote

international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To

this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,

Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC

Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested

in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-

governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely

with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by

agreement between the two organizations.

2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

interested IEC National Committees.

3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

misinterpretation by any end user.

4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence

between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in

the latter.

5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

services carried out by independent certification bodies.

6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

Publications.

8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

3.1 General terms
3.1.1
shock

sudden acceleration or deceleration resulting in transient physical excitation; characterized by

the peak acceleration, the duration, and the shape of the shock pulse (rectangular, half-sine,

sawtooth, etc.)

Note 1 to entry: The fundamental frequency of the automotive vehicle shock is varied from 0,5 Hz to 20 Hz.

Note 2 to entry: Mechanical shock pulses are sinusoidal, rectangular, half-sine, sawtooth, etc. waves. Detailed

explanation of mechanical shock pulses with an analysis of shock amplitude and duration/frequency of automobile

and conventional shaker have been included in Annex A (informative).
3.1.2
shock driven energy harvester

generator that responds to the applied mechanical shock, transforms shock into vibration

(mechanical oscillation), and converts the vibration to the electricity

Note 1 to entry: The generated power depends on the characteristics of applied shock and, mechanical and

electrical characteristics of the generator itself.

Note 2 to entry: Shock energy harvester to convert shock to electricity by using piezoelectric transducers is

comprised of inertial mass, spring, and piezoelectric transducer as shown in Figure 1. The piezoelectric transducer

contains two electrodes and a piezoelectric film. Vibration is induced in response to the applied shock that

introduces a reciprocating motion to the mass. The spring which suspends the mass is bended and the bending of

spring introduces tensile and compression of piezoelectric film. The top and bottom electrodes of piezoelectric film

harvest generated charges from the piezoelectric effect.

Note 3 to entry: Shock driven energy harvester is represented as shown in Figure 2. It is configured by mass,

spring, damping, and piezoelectric transducer. The piezoelectric transducer is generally viewed as damping.
