      The paper presents an estimate of an element failure probability due to a shock loading. The estimate is derived from the experimental results on high loads. The element testing may be carried out on a model or system basis. Test loads, dynamic coefficients, and loading limits are arbitrary. This probability estimation method can be used to estimate the reliability of elements in any system (including nonmechanical ones) under pulse loading.
