Static and Dynamic Testing of an Axle Shored MHU-12/M Trailer.
Abstract
An MHU-12/M Munitions Handling Trailer, loaded with two BDU-8 weapon shapes, was subjected to simulated inertial load tests and vibration tests in the 1 to 20 Hertz range. The trailer, tied to a simulated aircraft deck with 10,000 pound rated chains and MB-1 tiedown devices, was tested without shoring and with shoring in several locations to provide data on the effectiveness of the shoring. Data on tiedown chain reaction loads and trailer response were acquired. The tiedown pattern tested satisfies the inertial load test criteria for air transport. No hazardous reaction loads or trailer response was observed. Test procedures, complete data, and test observations are presented in the report. (Author)
