The Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge (AVLB) is a folding bridge that was fielded in the early 1960's as the Army's standard heavy assault bridge. The bridge is rated for normal crossings of military load classification of 60 tons (MLC 60) over a maximum gap of 60 feet and a vehicle speed of 25 mph. The System Simulation and Technology Division, AMSTA-RY, was tasked by the Systems Engineering. Directorate, AMSTA-U, to perform an anlaysis of the AVLB over a 60-foot gap while an M1A1 crosses it. The objective of this project was to perform a finite element analysis (FEA) of the whole AVLB to determine high-stress areas of concern. Finite Element Analysis, AVLB.
