Log truck performance on curves and favorable grades

Creator:

Jackson, Ronald Kelton

Abstract:

This paper describes the results of a study of log truck travel speeds in three locations in Western Oregon on favorable grades and curves. Independent variables of grade, curve radius, width, ditch depth, superelevation, sight distance, time of day, and maximum engine braking horsepower were regressed against speed. Only grade...

Field test to determine the static forces on the pendulum swing balloon logging system

Creator:

Tuor, Brian L.

Abstract:

This paper represents preliminary engineering analysis on the pendulum swing balloon system. It also describes an analysis of measurements taken in the summer o.f 1982, during a field test of a 37,000-foot3 balloon used as a prototype model under static conditions. This work established the influence of important variables on...
