The similarity between a shock response spectrum (SRS) and a target shock specification is essential in evaluating the success of a qualification test of a space component. Qualification testing facilities often utilize shock response databases for rapid testing. Traditionally, the comparison of two shocks (SRS) depends on visual evaluation, which is, at best, subjective. This paper compares five different quantitative methods for evaluating shock response similarity. This work aims to find the most suitable metric for retrieving an SRS from a pyroshock database.................
