Sumario:Modern wheeled armoured vehicles can perform a variety of tasks, making the development of weapon systems that can be safely and effectively integrated with the vehicle structure an area of interest. Due to the cost of implementing new models, it is more economical to test potential configurations using numerical methods, such as the finite element method. The numerical model has been validated to confirm the reliability of the obtained results. Modal tests were also performed using four configurations to identify the frequency and mode shape of natural vibrations occurring within the support structure. In an experimental setting, hull vibrations were forced using the modal hammer testing method. The modal assurance criterion (MAC) and the authors’ procedure were used to confirm the experimental and numerical test results. Additional testing in the form of impact loads was carried out for turret-containing structures. Structural strain at indicated points and forces transmitted by brackets to the bottom of the hull were compared.
