Abstract:
Collision protection for the Arctic surface effect vehicle ASEV was investigated and a collision protection philosophy developed for peripheral protection. Several peripheral protection schemes were evaluated and the most promising further developed and evaluated in a collision test program. A procedure is proposed for the design of discrete collision protection elements, and a computer program is documented which is a useful design tool when thin- wall tubes serve as the energy-absorbing elements.
