Download or read book Evaluation of Butler AM2 Landing Mat written by William B. Fenwick and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study was conducted to compare the performance of aluminum landing mat fabricated by Butler Manufacturing Co. The primary method of comparison was by using CBR design curves which were developed to represent 1600 operational cycles of an aircraft having a 60,000-lb gross weight with a single-wheel, main-gear assembly load of 27,000 lb and a 30-7.7 tire inflated to 400 psi. CBR design curves were also developed for 1600 passes of a 39,000-lb single-wheel load applied in a single track to represent the calculated loading imposed on the landing mat during launching of the 60,000-lb aircraft by catapult.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The investigation was conducted to evaluate three-piece AM2 landing mat. The mat was fabricated from three 8-in.-wide extrusions welded together to form a 2-ft-wide plank. A test section consisting of one sand item and three clay subgrade items with various CBR strength values was constructed and surfaced with the three-piece mat. The test section was subjected to uniform-coverage and single-line traffic representing operations of an aircraft having a 60,000-lb gross weight with a single-wheel main gear assembly load of 27,000 lb with a 30.7.7 tire inflated to 400 psi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation was conducted to determine the optimum panel size for the AM2 mat fabricated by Harvey Aluminum Company, Torrance, Calif. The basic AM2 mat was designed to sustain 1600 operational cycles of an aircraft having a gross weight of 60,000 lb with a single-wheel main-gear-assembly load of 27,000 lb and a 30-7.7 tire inflated to 400 psi. A test section consisting of three items with different subgrade strengths and surfaced with three different size mat panels was constructed and subjected to 188 coverages (equivalent to 1600 cycles of aircraft operations) of accelerated traffic of a 27,000-lb single-wheel load with a 30-7.7 tire inflated to 400 pri. The mat was also tested for its ability to sustain 1600 passes of a 39,000-lb single-wheel load applied in a single track to represent the calculated loading that would be imposed on a landing mat during launching of a 60,000-lb aircraft by catapult.

This book was released on 1966 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The investigation was conducted to evaluate the performance, under simulated aircraft loadings, of a guide rail (for use in assisted take-offs) designed for use with Airfield Matting No. 2 (AM2), Kaiser Aluminum Company's AM2 when used in conjunction with guide rail and when used without guide rail, and modified AM2 from Harvey Aluminum, Inc., when used in conjunction with guide rail. It was specifically desired to determine the effect that subgrade strength and soil type would have on the performance of the guide rail and AM2. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was conducted to evaluate replacement panels and keylock assemblies as accessories for use with AM2 landing mat in the construction of forward airfields. It was also desired to evaluate the capability of the AM2 mat to withstand traffic when laid in a longitudinal direction. A test section with a 10-CBR subgrade and the AM2 mat laid in both longitudinal and transverse directions, with the accessories included, was constructed and subjected to accelerated traffic of a 27,000-lb single-wheel load with a 30.00-7.7 tire inflated to 400 psi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The investigation was conducted to evaluate the performance of AM2 landing mat from production-line fabrication. A test section, consisting of two clay subgrade items with different strengths and one sand item, was constructed and surfaced with the AM2 mat. The test section was subjected to traffic representing 1600 operational cycles of an aircraft having a 60,000-lb gross weight with a single-wheel main-gear assembly load of 27,000 lb and a 30-7.7 tire inflated to 400 psi. Based on the results obtained in this investigation, it is concluded that the AM2 mat will sustain 1600 cycles (188 coverages) of uniformly distributed aircraft operations with a 27,000-lb single-wheel load and 400-psi tire inflation pressure when placed on a clay subgrade having a CBR of 4.0 or greater, the AM2 mat will sustain 1600 passes of a 27,000-lb single-wheel load with 400-psi tire inflation pressure applied in a single path when placed on a clay subgrade having a CBR of 4.2 or greater, with slight core damage occurring in a small percentage of the planks, and the AM2 mat will sustain 1600 passes or 188 coverages of a 27,000-lb single-wheel load with 400-psi tire inflation pressure when placed on a loose sand subgrade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The investigation was conducted to evaluate two-piece AM2 landing mat. The mat was fabricated from two 12-in.-wide extrusions welded together to form a 2-ft-wide plank. A test section consisting of one sand and two clay subgrade items with various CBR strength values was constructed and surfaced with the mat. The test section was subjected to uniform-coverage and single-line traffic representing operations of an aircraft having a 60,000-lb gross weight with a single-wheel main-gear assembly load of 27,000 lb with a 30-7.7 tire inflated to 400 psi. Based on the results obtained in this study, it is concluded that the May two-piece AM2 will sustain 1600 cycles (188 coverages) of aircraft operations with a 27,000-lb single-wheel load and 400-psi tire-inflation pressure when placed on a subgrade having a CBR of 4.1 or greater throughout the period of traffic, the May two-piece AM2 will sustain 1600 passes of a 27,000-lb single-wheel load with a tire-inflation pressure of 400 psi in a single path located 1-1/2 ft or more from the mat end joints when placed on a subgrade having a CBR of 4.3 or greater throughout the period of traffic, and general behavior of the mat in these tests was not materially affected by the two-piece nature of the planks.
