84. MITIGATION OF MILITARY HIGH SHOCK TRANSIENTS FOR SHIPBOARD GYROCOMPASS WITH FIBER OPTIC GYROS (FOG)

The Taylor Devices self-centering hexapod mount provides MIL-S-901D shock protection for the Litton Marine Systems MK27F Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS). This new Reference System satisfies stringent military shock and vibration requirements. Unlike Ring Laser Gyro (RLG) which have low fragility levels (Max 50 g), the LN200 Fiber Optic Gyro Assembly can be exposed to levels as high as 90 g. This paper addresses the shock transient mitigation for shock requirements specified by MIL-S-901D. Comparisons between predicted and measured response are provided for a single strut as well as the fully shock isolated platform. Analytical and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the MK27F Shock Absorber basic design for MIL-S-901D LWSM and predicted response is also presented for the floating platform Heavy Weight Shock Machine (HWSM).

10. INVESTIGATION OF LIGHT POLE BASE INTEGRITY – RICH STADIUM

Light poles at Rich Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y., were showing incipient failure of their hold-down bolts, due to wind excitation. This paper describes the measures used to alleviate this problem, including the addition of viscous dampers between the stadium structure and a point around one third up on the light poles.
