Abstract

It is reported that an intermittently rotating chamber system will improve the ratio of firepower to armament space in the case of mid-calibre automatic guns. However, the parallel index, which is a main component of the system, tends to be torsionally flexible due to the low lateral stiffness of cam followers on the index turret. This may cause the shaft system connecting the turret with the chamber prone to considerable residual torsional vibration so that serious misalignment problems occur during ammunition loading and firing processes. Herein, an electrorhelogical (ER) fluid actuator that can suppress such vibrations and the associated semiactive control algorithm are proposed. By mathematical modeling and computer simulations, the performance of the entire system is proved satisfactory.

간헐 회전식 약실 계가 화력 대 무장 공간의 비율 관점에서 볼 때 중구경 자동포에 크게 유익하다고 보고되었다. 그러나 약실계의 핵심 부품인 평행 인덱스가 인덱스 터릿에 설치되는 캠종동절의 상대적으로 낮은 횡 강성으로 인하여 비틀림 방향으로 유연해지는 경향이 있으며, 이는 결국 터릿과 약실 사이의 연결 축이 상당한 크기의 비틀림 잔류 진동에 노출되어 탄 장전과 발사 시에 심각한 비정렬 문제를 야기시킬 수 있다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 논문에서는 상기 진동을 억제하는 ER 유체 작동기와 그에 적합한 반능동 제어 알고리듬을 제안하게 되었으며, 전체 계의 수학적 모델링과 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 그 성능이 만족스러움을 입증하였다.
