Abstract

Military products require more product life considerations than civilian products. Equipment mounted on the operating means is continuously exposed to vibrations. Therefore, vibration is an important environmental factor to consider during product development. However, it is common to proceed with product development by applying the vibration profile obtained from the U.S. military standards because securing actual vibration data related to the product is difficult in terms of cost and time. Moreover, the vibration profile of the tracked vehicle is currently unavailable. In this paper, we propose a methodology that considers the characteristics of military products and transport vibrations for generating the vibration profile of a tracked vehicle. We measured the vibration level of the tracked vehicle during transportation. In addition, by building a finite element model of the product, a vibration profile was created using ANSYS Mechanical, which is a commercial finite element analysis program. In this study, the vibration profile of the tracked vehicle was created, and it is expected to be used for future studies and help in the development of products.
