Measurement of suspension and ride characteristics of the M1 main battle tankMeans were developed to measure the effect of vibration on human beings in a tank vehicle so as to determine the limits to which they might be taken in terms of operating effectiveness and also in terms of well being. Improved hardware for making these measurements, a method for relating tank hull input forces to ride quality, and installation and calibration of instrumentation to measure the hull forces are discussed.
