Vibration Analysis and Evaluation of Packaging Design during Transportation of Cultural Property

Abstract

This paper shows a case study of vibration measurement during the transportation of cultural properties from Tokyo to Naha. The author attempted to measure the vibration of the entire transportation process, from departure to arrival, using acceleration data loggers. Although the amount of data obtained was enormous, a semi-automated scheme was developed to calculate the raw data, and the time-series plots of acceleration and vibration frequency output were analyzed mainly in terms of trends in the occurrence of vibration frequency. This paper will serve as an example of an effort to look at time-series changes in vibration frequency from a bird's eye view throughout the entire transportation process.
