Recoil system for 40mm automatic gun is a device developed to absorb the shock of explosion. It is impossible to conduct pinpoint strike due to recoil if very high explosive shock, which is generated when an automatic gun fires shells, can't be absorbed. This study covers development and verification of analysis model for recoil system by utilizing a multi-domain software. The research process is as in the following. First, an analysis model is developed to verify damping characteristics through understanding of design intention. Second, environment which is identical to a field test is set up on analysis tool after putting explosive force that is measured through the test into the analysis model. Finally, the analysis model for recoil system using the multi-domain software is verified if it has effectiveness with a comparison between internal pressure of the recoil system along with displacement of gun barrel and the field test result.

포는 대체로 정확도와 최대 발사거리 및 최대 발사속도 등에 의해 그 성능 이 표현된다. 그 중에서도 최대 발사속도는 매우 중요한 인자로서 포의 주퇴 복좌 장치의 성능에 의해 직접적으로 영향을 받게 된다. 따라서 포의 최대 발사속도 향상을 위해서는 주퇴복좌 장치의 동특성 해석 능력을 확보하고, 그로부터 주퇴 장치의 설계 변경이 가능하도록 해야 한다. 한편, 주퇴복좌기 의 주퇴특성은 주퇴시 총주퇴저항력이 전주퇴장에 대해서 거의 일정해야만 포신에 전달되는 힘을 최소로 하면서 주퇴시간을 최소로 할 수 있으며 이러 한 설계 개념으로 주퇴복좌기를 설계한다. 그에 따라 주퇴복좌기는 그 내부 가 가변 오리피스 및 조절 로드로 이루어져 주퇴복좌기의 주퇴 저항력을 주 퇴속도 및 주퇴변위에 따라 변화시키도록 되어 있다. 따라서 주퇴복좌기는 필연적으로 강한 비선형 특성을 나타낸다. 이러한 주퇴복좌기를 모델링할 때 에 기존에는 주퇴복좌기내의 모든 유체역학적 요소를 고려하여 모델링하는 기법이 통용되어왔다. 그러나 이러한 모델링은 각 요소의 모델링 오차가 누 적될 위험이 있으므로 정확한 모델링을 보장할 수 없으며, 매우 복잡한 과정 을 거쳐야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 주퇴 완충기 시뮬레이터를 이용한 실 험에 따른 계의 파라미터 예측을 통하여 모델링하는 기법을 시도하여 보았 다.

The conventional medium and large caliber gun, in general, utilize the hydro-pneumatic recoil mechanism to control the firing impulse and to return to the battery position. However, this kind of mechanism may cause the problems like the leakages and the property changes in oil and gas due to the temperature variations between low and high temperatures. Accordingly, the friction spring mechanism has recently been researched as an alternative system. The friction spring mechanism consists of a set of closed inner and outer rings with the concentric tapered contact surfaces assembled in the columnar form, and can only be used under the compression load. When the spring column is axially loaded, the tapered surfaces become overlapped, causing the outer rings to expand while the inner rings are being contracted in diameter allowing an axial displacement. Because of friction between tapered contact surfaces, much higher spring stiffness is obtained on the stroke at the increase in load than the stroke at the decrease. In this paper, the dynamic equations regarding the friction spring system and the design approach have been investigated. It is also tried for a dynamic model representing the recoil motion and the friction spring forces. And the model has been proved from firing test using a gun system with friction springs. All the results show that the recoil mechanism using friction springs can substitute for the classic hydro-pneumatic recoil system.

Friction springs have different characteristics while loading and un-loading. Because of these characteristics, they are utilized in impact systems. In this paper, the design of a recoil system with friction springs for use in a machine gun system has been presented. In order to determine the stiffness of a friction spring, equations of motion for a simple gun model with a recoil system have been derived. The impulse balance scheme has been adopted. On the basis of simulation results, the diameter of the friction spring has been determined.

This study aimed to improve the reliability of the assurance pressure of a gun barrel due to the difference between the US Standard and Korean Standard. In addition, the reliability was found to differ according to the maximum pressure of the Ammunition, so restrictions are expected. During the development of the new bullet, the maximum pressure of the bullet was approximately 3,000 psi higher than the assurance pressure of the gun barrel. To solve this problem, the reliability of the cannon was analyzed when the assurance pressure of the gun barrel increased. First of all, the technical data from overseas were reviewed to check for cases of increased assurance pressure, and tests were performed to determine if it could withstand high pressure through a verification firing test. Finally, the simulation analyzed the stability of the recoil buffer. The study found no abnormal results in all items, suggesting that an increase in the assurance pressure for a gun barrel was possible. This study is expected to be used as basic data for future reliability studies of similar equipment.
