Design and Simulation of an Artillery Continuous Firing Tester
In modern artillery systems,the ability to realize continuous firing at high rates of fire is critical to improving fire density and battlefield effectiveness.In order to carry out the test of artillery multi-shot continuous firing under laboratory conditions,a novel artillery continuous firing tester is de-signed.Through theoretical calculations and fluid-solid coupling analysis,the key parameters of the tester are precisely optimized to ensure that it can support a maximum firing rate of 1 300 times/minute and conduct 5-round continuous firing tests.Motion analysis conducted at different firing rates showed that the maximum variance of the tester over the entire motion cycle was only 1.40%.The results show that the tester has high stability and can be adapted to continuous firing tests at a variety of firing rates,providing a new method for conducting high-efficiency and high-precision artillery firing tests in labora-tory environments.
