A Graphical User Interface (GUI) for Automated Classification of Bradley Fighting Vehicle Shock Absorbers

Abstract

In this report we describe a diagnostic system that is being utilized to evaluate the condition of armored vehicle shock absorbers. We begin by providing the motivation behind the development of the smart shock absorber test stand (SSATS). We then describe the theory required to evaluate the condition of shock absorbers. This theoretical discussion leads to a description of what real life data are acquired during a shock absorber test, and how it can be analyzed to determine the condition of a shock absorber. We then explain the design and capabilities of the SSATS graphical user interface (GUI), which includes the integration of a neural network classification scheme. We finish by discussing recent results of utilizing the system to test and evaluate Bradley armored vehicle shock absorbers.
