Summary

Spanish translation of an article presented at the IIR meeting held in Brest, France, in 1994 (see IIR Bulletin, ref 96-0230). In long-distance tests of refrigerated trailers with steel-spring suspension, loaded with tomatoes, table grapes and strawberries, high-power spectral density levels for acceleration were found at 3 to 4 hertz, with other lower peaks at 9, 16-18, and 25 hertz, and levels were also lower at most other frequencies. A package that has a wide transmissibility band width at resonance is more likely to result in a damaged product than a package with a narrow band width, particularly if the narrow band is where the input vibration level from the transit system is low.
