Prestress Modal Analysis and Optimization of Cantilever Supported Rotor under the Unbalanced Axis Force and Moving Mass

Abstract

In order to reduce the x-direction and Y-direction displacement disturbance of the barrel and improve the firing accuracy, based on Bernoulli Euler’s theoretical assumption of beam and taking M134 barrel machine gun as the calculation model, the pre-stress modal analysis and optimization of cantilever supported rotor under unbalanced force and moving mass are carried out in this paper. The main work of this paper is as follows: (1) M134 physical model is established, and the unbalanced force in the motion process of projectile in bore is solved by interior ballistic theory; (2) Based on the unbalanced rotor theory, the barrel vibration model considering the projectile weight and acceleration is established; (3) The critical speed model of high-speed rotating system is established, and the critical speed is determined by finite element modal analysis to determine the rigid/flexible state of barrel components in different speed regions; (4) Based on the above model, take the x-direction and Y-direction displacement of the barrel as the output value, and take the elastic modulus of the barrel, the relative position between the barrel hoop and the fuselage components and the cross-sectional area as the variable values, carry out the optimization design, and verify the firing accuracy before and after optimization through experiments.
