Abstract:

This publication represents a compilation of technical papers concerning analyses, design, measurement, and automation of gun dynamics. The authors represent a cross section of the scientific and technical community, including universities, industrial and government research laboratories. Partial Contents include Experimental determination of bore evacuator hole flow coefficients, tube to cannister Pressure distribution and pumping force of discharging bore evacuator holes Validation of projectile transient response models for the study of pressure oscillations in guns Experimental measurements of the blast pressure profile for 20-mm perforated muzzle brake designs Investigation of shock ignition in the injector ports of an annular bore evacuator reservoir Tracking of maneuvering targets using estimators. Ballistics, Barrel vibration, Dynamics, Precision, Controls, Target acquisition, Accuracy.
