Spectrum Analysis of 155mm Howitzer, XM198 Barrel Vibrations.
Abstract
The spectrum analysis of gun tube vibrations of the 155mm Howitzer, XM198, was carried out. The gun tube vibrations were caused by the firing of the XM198 and by the hitting of the tube with a plastic mallet. A definitive pattern of resonant frequencies was identified at the end of the tube of the XM198. Recommendations are discussed for future testing to obtain additional information on the gun tube vibrations.
