The problem and analysis of vibrations appearing in N10 and N11 groups military vehicles with manually-operated armament modules

This article is a continuation of work aimed to identify vibrations. It contains the results of tests, calculations, and analyses in the field of vibrations occurring on the elements of equipment of the N10 group tracked vehicle and the N11 group armored wheeled vehicle (classification according to NO-06-A103:2005) equipped with manually operated weapon systems. A detailed description of the analyses carried out, and the results of the research on the N10 group vehicle are contained in the article: “The Problem and Analysis of Vibrations Appearing in an N10 Group Military Vehicle Fitted with a Manually-Operated Armament Module” published in the quarterly Problems of Mechatronics Armament, Aviation, Safety Engineering. This study thoroughly presents the test results and their analysis for the N11 group vehicle and only recalls the results of similar tests and analyses for the N10 group vehicle for comparison. The research aimed to get acquainted with the characteristics of vibrations occurring in stabilized turret systems (weapon system) and devices supplying turret systems in terms of amplitudes, practical values, and their energy for various operating conditions. The analyses were carried out concerning the requirements of the Polish defense standard NO-06-A103:2005 and MIL-STD-810F regarding the correctness of their application.
