Ship Motion Simulator Land Based Test Site
West Bethesda, MD
The Ship Motion Simulator Land Based Test Site is a table with a top that rotates sinusoidally around two perpendicular axes that are parallel to the ground. The table is hydraulically powered with the top’s motion controlled by a programmable waveform generator that works with a feedback system to allow automatic, consistent, smooth operation. The Simulator is used to test equipment under simulated shipboard roll and pitch conditions. It is capable of testing a maximum load of 20,000 pounds under any combination of the following conditions: 24 degrees roll with a 9 second period; 7 degrees pitch with a 6 second period.
