Abstract:Knowledge of internal ballistic pressure and projectile velocity is required to ensure gun safety, reliability, calculation of its range, and evaluation of ammunition. However, existing methods for determining the same are either overly complex, costly or have limitations in their applicability. In this work, the authors address this need by proposing a reliable, simple, cheap, and non-destructive method for determining in-bore pressure, projectile velocity, and acceleration profile using strain measurements. … Show more
