INTRODUCTION A Cushion or " Cushion system" is a protective medium that provides an interface between a fragile product and a potentially harmful environment. Primary "harmful" inputs to be considered here are shock and vibration. To protect a product from shock or impact, a Cushion will "translate" the high peak short duration shock signature that occurs when two rigid surfaces meet (such as a package dropping on a floor) into a low peak long duration shock pulse where the transmitted deceleration level is below the fragility level of the product (see Figure 1).
