Abstract

This paper presents a theoretical method to calculate the static and dynamic spring constants of a peripheral-jet air cushion vehicle in heaving motion and to obtain the response characteristics of the vehicle to sinusoidal input.The analysis leads to the following results: (1) The static spring constant is affected by the characteristics of the fan.(2)The dynamic spring constant is affected by the air-supplying system (fan, duct, air-chamber).
