Impact Study of Mass Eccentricity of Sniper Rifle Bullet on Initial Disturbance

Abstract:

The bullet-rifle coupling model of sniper rifle has established to study the impact of bullet mass eccentricity on initial disturbance. This coupling model was established based on nonlinear finite element method and used to simulate the launch process of sniper rifle under the condition of gravity static equilibrium in the method of the mixing calculation which had advantages of both dynamic explicit algorithm and static implicit algorithm. The impact of different initial position of mass center on bullet swing angular displacement and centroid displacement was considered. Numerical calculation results shows that bullet mass eccentricity has a great influence on initial disturbance, the bullet swing angular displacement and centroid displacement is closely related to initial position of mass center. In addition, there is proportionality between bullet swing angular displacement and axial velocity before it reaches limit. That is helpful to carry out further study of how to control the influence of mass eccentricity on initial disturbance.
