TRUCK DESIGN OPTIMIZATION PROJECT, PHASE II: WEAR DATA COLLECTION PROGRAM REPORT--VOLUME II

This volume of the Wear Data Collection Program Report contains the measurements taken at each cycle on the eight Type I and II trucks in the program. For assistance in reading the computer printouts, see Table 1 which lists each type of measurement taken and indicates whether the measurements increase or decrease with wear (e.g., when two points on the same part wear away from each other, the intervening distance increases). In addition, the table shows the code used on the computer printout to identify the various measurements.
