The erosion wear of gun barrel occurs due to heat and chemical reactions. The high pressure and temperature in chamber increase the erosion wear. It is known that the metal phase transfer is the primary wear factor in a gun barrel under high temperature. In this paper, the tool of wear prediction in high pressure gun tube has been developed. The program developed has three modules such as DIRECT(interior ballistics analysis module), INVERSE(gun design module), and WEAR(wear prediction module). The prediction of wear was compared with the experimental data which was collected in the field unit. The prediction results shows good trend with the collected data.

This study was carried out vibration attenuation of vibration absorber attached to the cantilever beam structure. Modern tank guns are stabilized to allow fire on the move while traversing uneven terrain. However, as the length of the barrel is extended, to meet required muzzle exit velocities, the terrain induced vibrations lead to increased muzzle pointing errors. Thus, reducing these vibrations should lead to increased accuracy. The vibration absorber includes a compliant energy storage device, such as a spring, and a mass secured to the energy storage device. In this study, it accomplished a research in about gun barrel vibration attenuation using tuned mass damper. The barrel was hung from a bungee cord for free-free condition. It accomplished a vibration experiment for verified attenuation efficiency.

본 연구는 전차에 적용중인 포신의 보증압력이 미국의 원 규격과 과거에 제정된 한국 규격에 명시된 수치가 상이하고 사용 중인 탄종의 최대압력과도 상이하여 운용 간 제한사항이 예상됨에 따라 포신 보증압력의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위한 연구이다. 사격은 포의 약실내부에서 추진제의 폭발로 이루어지며 전투장비는 이러한 사격 충격력을 견딜 수 있도록 설계된다. 만일 충격력을 효과적으로 제어하지 못하면 장비의 반동으로 인해 사격 정확도가 낮아진다. 전차에서 사용될 신규 탄 개발 중, 전차포 규격에 명시된 포신의 보증압력 값(포신AP)보다 탄의 최대 발생 압력 값이 약 3,000 psi정도 높은 것이 확인되었다. 이러한 문제를 해소하기 위하여 포신의 보증압력 상승 시 신뢰성 확보 가능 여부를 분석하였다. 먼저 국외 기술자료 검토를 수행하여 보증압력 상승 사례를 확보 후 확인사격시험을 통해 고압에서 견디는지 실험하였다. 마지막으로 주퇴복좌장치의 안정성을 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 분석 하였다. 연구 결과 모든 항목에 대해 이상 소견은 발견되지 않아 신규 탄종에 맞게 포신의 보증압력 상승이 가능하다고 판단하였다. 본 연구는 향후 유사장비의 신뢰성 연구 시 기초자료로 활용 될 것으로 기대된다.

Advanced tanks in the future combat system are expected to have the trends of large caliber, high explosive shell and light weight for destructive power and improvement in mobility. Their guns are required to have longer barrels to meet increased muzzle exit velocities. However, as the length of the barrel is extended, the vibrations induced by the breech forces in fire and the terrain lead to increased muzzle pointing errors. Therefore, the fire-induced and terrain-induced vibrations must be attenuated. A method to reduce these vibrations without the significant increase of the gun mass is to use the forward thermal shroud as part of a tuned mass damper. In this study, the dynamically-tuned-shroud using this shroud and leaf springs is introduced and its effectiveness on the vibration attenuations of the barrel are verified. The parametric studies on the stiffness of these leaf springs are performed and the analytical results are verified using the experimental model of the dynamically-tuned-shroud.

본 논문은 포신의 길이 및 발사되는 탄약의 압력에 따른 포신 내부 및 배연기의 유동 특성에 대한 연구 내용이다. 탄약 설계 전 포신길이 및 탄약 압력에 따른 배연기의 유동 특성을 분석함으로서 탄약 운용 간 발생할 수 있는 Flareback 현상을 사전에 예방 할 수 있으며, 기존 탄약의 설계 요소인 속도, 정확도, 관통성능, 사거리 외에 운용성 향상을 위한 포신과 탄약의 호환성이 탄약 설계의 주요 요소임을 추가로 도출하였다. 유동 해석 수행 결과 포신 길이가 길고, 사격되는 탄약의 압력이 낮을수록 포신의 배연기 작동시간이 느려져 전투차량 내부로 추진제 가스가 들어올 확률이 높아짐을 확인하였다. 따라서, 본 연구를 통해 확인 된 포신 길이 및 탄약 압력에 의한 배연기 유동 특성 상관관계 해석 기법은 신규 탄약 설계 시 운용성 향상을 위한 주요 요소로 고려되어 탄약의 무게 결정과 추진제 압력 선택에 활용이 가능 할 것으로 판단된다.

As the propellant mass is being accelerated out of the gun chamber along with the projectile, a continuous pressure gradient exists between the end of chamber and the base of the projectile. For this reason, the base pressure-travel curve is very important to design a conventional gun barrel in the interior ballistics, but it is not obtained briefly by empirical or theoretical method. In this paper, a simple relation between chamber pressure and base pressure was determined by the factor of base pressure(Cb) obtained from the experimental method. The simple relation gives a reasonable prediction for the reduction of pressure between the breech and the base of projectile owing to the axial gradient in the gun tube. The predictions have been validated by the infrared screen sensor and the PRODAS(PROjectile Design and Analysis System) for interior ballistic systems. Therefore, the base pressure-travel curve could be calculated from the chamber pressure measured by piezoelectric sensor. The base pressure-travel curve obtained from the simple relation offers initial information to gun barrel designer and is used for calculation of muzzle velocity.

Temperature distriburion in a hollow chlinder has been analyzed mathematically. Unsteady condition considered assumed a constant heat flux input from the inside. The results are compared with experimental results of surface temperature rise of a gun barrel during continuous firing. Their agreements are acceptable. Effects of various dimensionless parameters on the surface temperature rise are discussed. For small Biot numbers, the external survface temperature approaches more rapidly to the steady temperature. Temperature difference between internal and external surfaces becomes greater for small Biot number. Steady solution assumed that the gas temperature inside the cylinder varies periodically. Relative amplitude and phase angles between the gas temperature and the internal or external surface temperature are obtained. Phase angles become smaller for large radiancy of gas temperature variation, small external Biot number, or large internal biot number. Relative amplitudes become samller as radiancy of gas temperature variation and internal Biot number become smaller. or external Biot number becomes larger. The solution obtained in this paper can be applied to gun barrels, heat pipes used in heat excangers, and reciprocation engines.

This paper presents the modeling and validation of a pile-driver breech fatigue testing system model to replicate actual high pressure in a large caliber gun barrel. A hysteresis damping function was incorporated in the nonlinear impact force model. Test of real pile-driver breech fatigue testing system had been performed for model validation. Comparison of the experimental result and model simulation during impact were made. Numerical studies were performed to evaluate how the actual chamber pressure pattern in the live firing of gun barrel was affected by parameters' variation. Some of the parameters simulated included input velocity, damping coefficient and stiffness. As a result, a variety of actual chamber pressure pattern could be reproduced and controlled through current simulation model.

In naval gun firing, firing accuracy comes from the combination of each component's accuracy in CFCS (Command and Fire Control System) like tracking sensors and gun. Generally, battery alignment is done to correct the error between gun and tracking sensor by using boresight telescope on harbor and sea. But normally, the battery alignment can compensate only the static alignment error and ignore dynamic alignment error which is caused by own ship movement. There was no research on this dynamic alignment error until now. We propose a new way to analyze dynamic arrangement error by using image of boresight telescope. In case of the dynamic alignment error was due to time delay of own ship attitude information, we propose the way to compensate it.
