Test Operation Procedure (TOP) 01-1-010A Vehicle Test Course Severity (Surface Roughness)

Abstract

Provides a method of analyzing vehicle test course surface roughness. Describes use of profilometers and the conversion of profilometer data to power spectral density (wave number spectra) curves. Includes wave number spectra and other metrics of vehicle endurance test courses at ATEC Test Centers.
