Abstract:Electrothermal-chemical (ETC) launch technology can accurately control and enhance the ignition and combustion of solid propellants to improve the consistency and accuracy of ballistics. In this paper, a calculation model including the transient burning rate formula and six-degree-of-freedom rigid body trajectory equation is established to simulate both interior and exterior ballistics processes for a 155mm uni-modular charge howitzer. The simulation results show that the muzzle velocities are optimized via th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
