Seismic effects on enclosures

Seismic effects on enclosures   In areas where seismic activity is possible, enclosures have to withstand more influences and material-stress than in zones with no or a minimum seismic risk. During an earthquake, sensitive electric/electronic equipment can be subjected to motions that can over-stress equipment framework, whereas the amount of motions and resulting stress...
