Engineering Test of Power Driven Nails

Abstract

The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School (USADACS), Evaluation Division (SMCAC-DEV), has been tasked by the U.S. Army Armament, Munitions and Chemical Command (SMCAR-ESK), Rock Islands, IL, to evaluate an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) which requested the addition of a cooler nail and a box-style nail to the unitization procedures developed by the Storage and Outloading Division (SMCAC-DEO). In order to evaluate the performance of the additional nails, a comparison was performed to measure the holding strengths of common, cooler, and annular-ring cooler nails in the dynamic shear mode. Tests were not conducted on the box style nail because the nail would be used in clinching applications do not experience any stresses. (KR)
