Abstract: The stress response of an artillery barrel when fired is principally due to loading from gas pressure and contact force with the projectile. This paper reports a research project in which a dynamic model of a barrel and a ...

Abstract: Experimental and numerical investigations on the protection efficiency of a diamond-shaped thermal jacket made of the certain braided composites with anisotropic material properties for gun barrels were carried out to gain ...

Abstract: Evacuators are key components of gun barrels, and their main function is to drain the gunpowder gas remaining in the gun bore from the muzzle by ejection. To design an efficient evacuator for the gun barrels, an optimization ...
