Structural Evaluation of TACAN/JTIDS/CDF Antenna Mast Assembly

Abstract

This report details an effort to develop an effective computational method to analyze the dynamic behavior of the shipboard antenna mast assembly when subjected to the shock environment caused by a near-miss underwater explosion. Shipboard antenna mast assembly, Rayleigh's method, TACAN, JTIDS, and CDF antennas, Kutta-Merson's fourth-order predictor-corrector technique, Shock and vibration analysis
