Abstract: The effects of changes in geometries and material properties of rotating band and long range artillery projectile shell body on gun tube stress are presented. The results are based on numerical ...

Abstract: The soft deformable metallic rotating band of large caliber projectiles prevents the gas leakage between the gun tube wall and the shell body by the band pressure on contact surfaces during ...

Abstract: Structures operating in the creep regime will consume their creep life at a greater rate in locations where the stress state is aggravated by triaxiality constraints. Many structures, such as ...
