Note: "Shock - MF" is a highly specific technical or industrial term. Based on common engineering nomenclature, this refers to (often seen in vibration analysis data logs) or, in some contexts, Shock Mitigation Factor (used in marine seating and vehicle impact testing). This article focuses on the most technical interpretation: Shock - MF (Measurement Filtering) as it applies to data acquisition systems.

In economic modeling, often represents a foreign nominal shock that impacts domestic markets. ESICM LIVES 2016: part one : Milan, Italy. 1-5 October 2016

Follow this decision matrix:

| Application | Recommended Shock - MF | Rationale | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Whole-body vibration (seat pans) | CFC 60 | Human body cannot feel >80 Hz shocks. | | Vehicle suspension impacts | CFC 180 | Removes unsprung mass resonance. | | Crash dummy chest/head | CFC 1000 | Industry standard; captures bone conduction. | | Metal-to-metal impact (hammers) | CFC 2000 | Balances peak preservation vs. ringing. | | Pyrotechnic / Explosive shock | CFC 6000 + SRS analysis | Shock response spectrum is better than filtered time history. |
