DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF VIGILANTE TOWED CARRIAGE SUSPENSION SYSTEM

Abstract

The suspension system of the Vigilante X-2 towed gun carriage was analyzed theoretically and tested experimentally. A prediction equation for the maximum acceleration transmitted through the suspension system to the carriage proper is developed and the coefficients and exponents of the prediction equation are evaluated by use of a quarter-scale model.
