ADDITIONAL RESULTS ON THE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF A LINEAR VEHICLE USING MEASURED GROUND POWER SPECTRAL DENSITY

Abstract
An extension is presented of previous results relating the parameters of an idealized two-dimensional linear vehicle to stable ground roughness as described by power spectral densities. Optimal vehicle parameters are obtained relative to a ride roughness criterion for ground contours described by power spectral densities estimated from real ground survey data. It is found that the ride is not sensitive to changes in the wheel base length parameter when is over 14 feet. However, the ride is found to be sensitive to damping and speed in this wheel base length range.
