Dynamic response of a 120 mm smoothbore tank barrel during horizontal and inclined firing positions

AbstractIn this study, the dynamic interaction between a 120 mm smoothbore tank barrel modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli cantilever beam and an accelerating projectile during firing is presented. The interaction was modelled using a new FEM approach that took into account the projectile's inertia,...
