MODELING OF ELEMENTS OF THE "SMALL ARMS – BARREL – BULLET" SYSTEM USING THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

Abstract

Background. Small arms are an integral part of modern combat. In connection with the development of armor protection means, it is required to increase the effectiveness of individual small arms. Materials and methods. One of the means to achieve the goal of improving the efficiency of the sample is 3d modeling. When using new technical solutions, it is necessary to carry out optimization aimed at choosing the best design characteristics. The article considers the procedure for conducting modeling in order to optimize and select the optimal technical characteristics using computer-aided design software systems for the elements of the "small arms – barrel – bullet" system using the finite element method. Results and conclusions. The simulated system allows at the design stage to predict the technical characteristics of small arms in order to increase the effectiveness of its action.
