Abstract
A method and mobile unit facility is provided for testing the packaging of material during the transport of the material from one location to another location. The method includes instrumenting a unit of packaged material for measuring deflection and acceleration of the packaged material during the transport, loading the unit of packaged material into a bed of the mobile unit facility and filling the remainder of the bed with weighted material which is weighted and sized to simulate other units of the actual packaged material, and then driving the mobile unit facility from the one known location to the other location while recording deflection and acceleration data of the unit of packaged material.
