Application of Reinforced Fiberglass to the Hood/Fender Assembly for the M939 5-Ton Truck

Abstract

An effort to apply fiberglass reinforced plastic (E-glass/epoxy) to the construction of an M939/M963 hood/fender assembly was undertaken. Material characterization and the finite element analysis were completed. Soft tooling for both hoods was made and pre-production prototypes of the M939 hood/fender assembly were made. The feasibility of manufacture was proved. (Author)
