DETERMINATION OF THE CRITICAL POINT ON SNIPER BARREL IN TERMS OF THE STRESS AND DEFORMATION CONCEPTS
Abstract
Abstract
The impact performance of the material is critical property in the weapon industry. In particular, the pressure distribution concept in barrel has revealed the need to work on this issue. Therefore, the behavior of the barrel was investigated, when the explosion pressure was realized in the barrel. In this study, different pressure values were applied to the inside of the barrel to obtain a critical stress region. The barrel of the new generation long-range sniper weapon of the American Barret company, which is legendary with the M82A series, was used. 3D barrel model was created in SOLIDWORKS program. ANSYS workbench static structural toolbox was used to perform the proposed study. Within this study, the critical points in sniper weapon barrel were determined in terms of the stress and deformation concepts.
