Landing Craft Shock Absorber Measurements

Abstract

Trials were conducted in July and August 1974 to study the response of an aircraft nose-wheel assembly when mounted as a protective fender on a landing craft. Under the sponsorship of the Office of Naval Research, the Underwater Explosions Research Division of the Naval Ship Research and Development Center provided instrumentation and data processing services required to measure forces and motions produced during operations of a landing craft alongside a larger vessel. This report provides the experimental data obtained during the trials.
