Analysis of Arc-Shaped Support Plate Influence on Muzzles Vibration of Gatling Gun Fire on Tripod

Abstract:

To improve the firing stability of Galtling gun by installing an arc-shaped support plate on a light tripod,a firing dynamic model of Gatling gun shooting on light tripod which has a arc-shaped support plate fixed on the different positions established based on rigid-flexible multi-body dynamic theory. The muzzles vibration and tripods deformation obtained through dynamic simulation. The results show that while the arc-shaped support plate fixed close to the bracket, the supporting effect to Galting gun decreased, tripods deformation and muzzles vibration increased. On the contrary, it reduced muzzles vibration and enhanced the firing stability. The analytic results provide a reference to improve the arc-shaped support plate in tripod.
