Static and Dynamic Testing of an Axle Shored MHU-141/M Trailer
Abstract
An MHU-141/M Munitions Handling Trailer, loaded with two AGM-69 SRAM missile shapes on MHU-71/E Munitions Handling Rail Sets, was subjected to simulated inertial load tests and vibration tests in the 1 to 20 Hertz range. The trailer, tied down to simulated aircraft deck with 10,000-pound rated chains and MB-1 tiedown devices, was tested with and without shoring to provide data on the effectiveness of the shoring. Data on tiedown chain reaction loads and trailer response were acquired. The tiedown pattern and procedures tested satisfy 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.
