Chet,
You might want to look in UL Safety Standard 508 starting with Part 1 Paragraph
6. This standards requires some very aggressive "mechanical" tests for
enclosures.

Subject: mechanical deformation rating under repeated impact
Hello group,
I am looking for a standard (or standards) that rates the repeated
impact or
"detent withstand" of small electronic enclosures (app. one cubic foot
or
less in volume). I am aware of UL's impact rating test, but I am
looking
for something a bit more aggressive. Is there such a standard or
guideline
published that characterizes the amount of deformation an enclosure
exhibits
under repeated hammer blows, for example? The object delivering the
blow is
not limited to hammers, it could be any such "weapon"--lead pipe, pipe
wrench, ice pick, screwdriver, combat boot(?)... Any info or direction
is
much appreciated!
