Modeling wear mechanism of artillery projectiles rotating band using variable parametars of internal ballistic process

 

Miodrag Lisov, BSc (Eng)

 

This study comprises both theoretical and experimental research of wear mechanism on artillery projectile rotating band. The results of the research have been used for better understanding of complex process of wear rotating band in passing projectile through artillery weapons’ grooving barrel and for the purpose of defining the material key characteristics primarily influencing the degree of the rotating band wearing. The study presents comparative theoretical and experimental researches performed on 105 mm and 155 mm artillery systems. The experimental results shown have been obtained by shooting function verification and also on the basis of structural-mechanical testing of material samples.
