Characterisation of a gun recoil resistance model for use in internal ballistic modelling
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)While ballistics focus on the behaviour of propellant and projectiles, gun mechanics covers the behaviour of all weapon components and mounts under launch conditions. Gun mechanics deals with the stress and strain of the ... -
The development of a semi-empirical barrel engraving resistance method for internal ballistic simulation codes
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)This research focused on the implementation of a semi-empirical projectile barrel engraving resistance model for internal ballistic simulation codes. An alternative method is provided to determine the engraving resistance ... -
Internal ballistics simulation study of propellant geometry for optimal combustion and packing density
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)A conventional bullet or projectile, driven by the rapidly expanding gas formed by the combustion of the propellant charge, accelerates in the barrel and reaches a certain muzzle velocity, spin, and propulsion energy. The ...
