Field
Gun Recoil Track Design
| |
- A field gun light enough to be suspended
beneath a helicopter was designed.
- A ‘down-hill’ firing load
case caused the gun to lift off the
ground.
- The ADAMS model of the gun included
flexibility and a soil hysteresis model.
- The shape of the barrel recoil track
was varied in order to minimise the
lift-off response during the ‘down-hill’
firing condition.

Submarine Missile
Launch
| |
- Submerged vertical launch of ballistic
missiles was required.
- Given that the submarine may be moving,
jamming of the missile in the launch
tube due to hydrodynamic forces was
a possibility.
- An ADAMS model of the missile and
tube was created.
- The contacts between the missile and
tube were modelled together with the
hydrodynamic forces as the missile emerged
into the flow.
- Parameter studies were conducted to
investigate the force required to launch
successfully in varying operating conditions.
