The development of a process to emplace a refractory metal liner inside a gun tube is described. The process consists of filling the liner with an elastomeric material and then slipping this arrangement into the gun tube. The ends of the liner are plugged with plastic disks and pressure is applied to the elastomeric material by a load frame. The original clearance between the liner and gun tube...

In the present article a numerical procedure is developed for dynamic analysis of single and double autofrettage of thick–walled FG cylinders under transient loading. The governing differential equations are discretized and presented in explicit Lagrangian formalism. The explicit transient solution of discrete equations are obtained on the meshed region and results for stress and strain distrib...

In this paper, the effect of autofrettage process parameters on the ultimate pressure that functionally graded spherical vessel can tolerate are investigated. FGM properties and autofrettage pressure are considered as important parameters. Assumptions are variation of properties of FGM in radial direction, the residual stress in the absence of Bauschinger effect with the operation of variable m...

A simulated artillery chamber pressure generator (SACPG) was proposed for solving the dynamic evaluation in application environment of internal electronic pressure gauge. Strength autofrettage theory of SACPG was studied and simulated by ANSYS. Pressure waveforms, of which the amplitudes were up to 700MPa and the rise time was between 2 ms and 5 ms, had been obtained through controlling the dia...
