Dynamic simulation on multilevel coupled vibration of a naval gun under foundation motion excitation of ship

Abstract

To study the multilevel coupled vibration of a naval gun under the foundation motion excitation of the ship, a mechanical-electrical-hydraulic coupled dynamic model of the naval gun including the follow-up systems’ influence was established. The subprogram for calculating the ship foundation motion was written by the harmonic superposition method, and the motion in the 3 and 5-scale sea waves was reconstructed, respectively. Based on the multidisciplinary simulation, the transmission characteristics of the ship’s foundation motion excitation along the naval gun and the influence of the tooth arc arrangement on the stabilization accuracy of the naval gun are analyzed. The results show that: the foundation motion excitation of the ship will aggravate the imbalance of the contact forces at the left and right trunnions of the cradle. A bilateral symmetrical arrangement scheme of the tooth arcs can reduce the contact forces’ imbalance at the trunnions and reduce the adverse influence on the stabilization accuracy of the naval gun. The relevant research provides theoretical support and technical guidance for the structural design or verification of the naval gun.
