Use of Lightweight Materials in 21st Century Army Trucks This site provides access to the full text of the report written by the National Research Council Committee on Lightweight Materials for 21st Century Army Trucks and the National Materials Advisory Board, published by the National Academies Press in 2003. The report primarily looks at research and technology developments of new lightweight structural materials for light, medium, and heavy Army trucks which will decrease vehicle weight and increase fuel efficiency, but also considers alternative ways of reducing weight such as through the use of alternative power sources such as hybrid electric powertrains. The chapters look at the use of trucks in the US Army and requirments of the future military vehicle fleet; new materials and processing oportunities including aluminium and magnesium alloys, high strength steels, corrosion resistance, polymer matrix composites, self repair and self maintenance; and enabling new technology insertion through improved procurement practices, life cycle management, reduced maintenance and modular design. |
