Modeling and Simulation Analysis of Certain Vehicular Gatling Gun

Abstract:

To study the influence of barrel’s deformation and vehicle velocity to certain vehicular Gatling gun, a virtual simulation with rigid-flexible coupling was established by using ADAMS/Flex module based on rigid multi-body dynamics and flexible body dynamics theories. Considering the interaction of the tires and road surface, vehicle and machine gun, the dynamic analysis and calculation of exterior ballistics were completed in various vehicle velocity condition, the muzzle response characteristics and impact position were obtained. The Model is testified rational, accuracy and effective by comparing simulating results with the experimental data of the velocity and displacement of barrel, which has laid the foundation for further simulation and structural optimization.
