Influence of clearance between cradle and barrel on nonlinear dynamic response of the artillery system

Abstract

Abstract The artillery weapon system,characterized as a complex nonlinear mechanical system, is influenced by various factors affecting its muzzle vibration response.In the article, the model of the artillery system with variable cross-section and multistep barrel is established on the basis of the bending deformation equation, and the fundamental frequency equation is obtained, and the auxiliary verification is completed through modal testing and finite element methods. Then, considering the clearance between the barrel and the cradle, the equivalent nonlinear dynamic model of the vertical vibration of the muzzle is established is established. Furthermore, the multi-scale analysis method obtains the amplitude-frequency curve of the equivalent model under sinusoidal excitation, and analyzes the influence of parameters on the response characteristics. Finally, the vibration research system of the model of the artillery system is constructed to study the vibration characteristics of the muzzle. The results show that the equivalent nonlinear dynamic model established in the paper has certain accuracy, which can provide a certain reference for the related research of the artillery system
