摘要: | The objective of the program was to develop lightweight experimental truck components, fabricated from synthetic materials. In particular, leaf springs and propeller shafts for the 5-ton Army truck are designed using resin matrix composite materials. Both design studies and prototype fabrication and testing are included in the program. For the leaf springs (both front and rear) a hybrid using steel leaves in combination with fiberglass-epoxy leaves produced the most cost-effective solution. The propeller shaft design employed graphite- epoxy tubes with adhesively-bonded steel end sleeves. The results of the design- material trade studies are included in the report. The fabrication processes employed in making prototype parts also are included as well as the test results obtained for the prototype parts. |
