Abstract
A detecting method can perform the drop test according to the exact grounding condition, thereby detecting the actual grounding data. In addition, the shock accelerometer on the tested point of the test object can obtain an experimented G value which is compared with the simulated G value that is obtained by inputting the grounding angles (the grounding angles are calculated according to the grounding pictures) into the simulation program. In addition, the drop test device can reduce interruption, thereby enhancing the whole detecting accuracy.
