In recent years various designs of impact limiters have been tested by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) within specific component testing and particularly with regard to type B package design approval procedures. The paper focuses on the experimental realization of impact limiter tests and presents implemented measurement techniques to determine the amount of deformation and to explain the impact behavior by means of photogrammetric metrology and 3-d fringe projection method, high-speed motion analysis and adjusted deceleration measurements.
