Not much response on mechanical on this one, so I try here

I assume my main vibration input to my tracked vehicle (defence)innstalled equipment will originate from the tracks traversing a paved road. Of course, we want to install the equipment on as many vehicles as possible. (The sales people will take care of that!)Does anyone know of the vibration levels generated by these vehicles. Specifically: Are the frequencies generated by these vehicles very different? (Like Abrams, M113, Bradley, Leopard etc.) Are the vibrstion levels generated very different. My question really turns down to: Will I have to design for all the different vehicles, or is there a common vibration spec for this type of platforms?

Thanks for any help.

I found some articles online about it:



(a very interesting presentation)


These won't give exact levels but hopefully will help. For exact levels you will need to contact an Army representative directly, and no doubt have to sign non-disclosure documents.
