Abstract: Realistic material models have been developed on the basis of the experimental investigation of reverse loading with actual Bauschinger effect and implemented into a two-dimensional finite element ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions for shrink-fit compound gun tubes were used to study the effects of the liner/sleeve interface diameter, the radial interference, and the effect of machining tolerances on ...

Abstract: In many cases apparently complex interactions between a coating and a substrate may be reduced to a combination of two simple loading scenarios, namely, constant direct stress and linearly ...

Abstract: A 155 mm compound gun barrel with full-length integral mid-wall cooling channels was manufactured and connected to a purpose built heat exchanger. Laboratory testing of this system was carried ...
