Shock Load Analysis

Application to simulate the shock load on a parachute's shock cord during deployment, considering varying air densities at different altitudes and dynamic system properties.

Requirements

• Python
• NumPy
• Matplotlib
• Tkinter (for user interface)

Usage

1. Run the script:

   python interface.py

2. Input Parameters

3. Click the Calculate button to start the simulation.

Notes

• The simulation uses the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) model to calculate air density.
• The shock cord stretch is modelled using Hooke's Law with additional damping.
• The disreefing of the parachute is approximated by a linear increase in diameter increase.
