Finite Element Stress Analysis for Component Advanced Technology Test Bed (CATTB)

摘要

This program was initiated to study the effect of the new lightweight gunconfiguration on the turret and hull; to determine the physical and ride properties of CATTB; and to ensure that the stresses in various CATTB components under gun firing and terrain loads are within safe limits. Road testing will be conducted after the prototype is built to verify analysis results. Keywords: State of the art structural analysis, Stress analysis, Mass properties, Dynamic analysis, Turret, Hull, Bulkhead, Road load, Firing load. (Author) (KR)
