WIND-MEASURING SET AN/TMQ-13(XE-2)

Abstract

The vibration and shock response of an M113 armored personnel carrier was determined with the vehicle operating over paved 6-inch washboard, random cross-country, and fixed-bump courses. The vehicle was operated over these courses with suspension components (road wheels, shock absorbers and track) at the 2 extreme conditions of very poor and very good. The purpose of this report is to present statistical and specral analysis of the vehicle operation over these courses; therefore, the evalution is limited. hree points were determined by this test: (1) the most severe vibration is obtained on a level, paved road; (2) the most severe shock occurs when the suspension bottoms; and (3) the vehicle can generate a shock and vibration environment considerably in excess of the extreme discomfort level for passengers.
