 | A robust model of the HMMWV with an occupant model was created and analyzed using a variety of probabilistic methods. Methodologies were developed to determine the relative importance of structural components of the vehicle under different crash and blast scenarios. With the integration of the high fidelity neck and head model, a methodology to calculate the probability of injury to soft tissues of the neck was created and tested. These ... |

| Hydraulic systems are widely used in a variety of military applications including ground vehicles, aircraft, and weapon systems. The impact of corrosion on hydraulic systems and its components is well understood; however, the protection provided by different hydraulic fluids is not equal. Review of military vehicle hydraulic systems has identified that the most common occurrences of critical corrosion are found in hoses, hose end fittings, actuator arms, pistons, cylinders, and ... |

| Hydraulic systems are widely used in a variety of military applications such as aircraft, ground vehicles, and weapon systems. The impact of corrosion on hydraulic systems and its components has been identified but is often not recognized. Project collaboration between the U.S. Army Research Lab, U.S. Army Corrosion Office, and Concurrent Technologies Corporation identified the most critical corrosion issues found in hydraulic systems to be hoses, hose end fittings, actuator ... |
