Abstract:

The trailer successfully completed certification test requirements to qualify as a transport vehicle for Minuteman second-stage operational motors. The trailer, while transporting live second-stage motors supported in a universal harness, was subjected to a series of plankstrip-course and rough-road condition tests to produce sinusoidal inputs to accelerometer locations on the universal harness and motor. A comparative analysis of the acceleration-response data recorded during these tests with data recorded during the tests of four other van-harness combinations is presented.
