Fatigue Life Prediction for Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge (AVLB) for MLC 70 and MLC 80 Loads

Abstract

Due to increased vehicle weight and the need to increase load carrying capacity, interest has been shown to increase the AVLB's load rating without any design changes. This may have an adverse effect on the AVLB's fatigue life.
