In AUTODYN, orthotropic materials subject to shock wave loading can be simulated with the correct thermodynamic response.

Shock loads, resulting from accidental drop during handling and shipping shall not lead to a critical situation; the ammunition shall remain safe for disposal, when dropped from a height of 12 meters and shall remain fully functional when dropped from less than 1.5 meters.

An example of such an energy weapon would consist of a high power laser that aims a focussed beam of light at its target for a sufficiently long enough interval to either damage or destroy its quarry by impulsive shock loading or by intense thermal heating.

6.8.4.2 These bulk containers shall be designed and constructed so as to be strong enough to withstand the shocks and loadings normally encountered during transport including, as applicable, transhipment between modes of transport.

7.1.1.4 Packages containing dangerous goods shall only be loaded in transport units which are strong enough to withstand the shocks and loadings normally encountered during transport, having regard to the conditions to be expected during the anticipated journey.

"4.1.1.1 Dangerous goods shall be packed in good quality packagings, including IBCs and large packagings, which shall be strong enough to withstand the shocks and loadings normally encountered during transport, including trans-shipment between transport units and between transport units and warehouses as well as any removal from a pallet or overpack for subsequent manual or mechanical handling.

(a) Large and robust articles shall be strong enough to withstand the shocks and loadings normally encountered during transport including trans-shipment between transport units and between transport units and warehouses, as well as any removal from a pallet for subsequent manual or mechanical handling;
