Abstract:

A series of integrated research programs concerned with analytical and experimental investigation of vehicle reactions to impact forces is described. The program presents 1 equations of vehicle dynamics 2 techniques for generating random terrain profiles 3 a unique motion simulator and, 4 a three-screen visual display system. The simulator described is a high amplitude device that is capable of producing random motions of bounce, pitch, roll and yaw. This investigation has led to a substantial improvement towards analytical and physical understanding of vehicle behavior. Mathematical models are presented with significant comparisons made between computer studies and experimental evidence. The presentation enables a relative assessment of the Armys inhouse progress in the simulation field. Author
