  1. On Dynamic Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis of Bullet and Barrel Interface Kevin Russell, Ph.D. Small Caliber Weapon Systems Team

  2. Agenda:  Objective  Description of System  Model and Modeling Process  Example Problem  Current and Future Work

  3. Objective: Build realistic virtual bullet/barrel models to: accurately calculate the dynamic performance of bullet and barrel calculate the effects of model variations on interior and exterior ballistics

  4. Bullet and Barrel Description: Source: Military Small Arms, Allsop, Popelinsky, 1997

  5. ANSYS/LS-DYNA Model M249 Model Includes:  Elastic Barrel Properties  Elastic and Plastic Bullet Properties  Pressure-Time Curves in System  Friction, Clearances and Interferences

  6. Modeling Process  Build Solid Models  Mesh Solid Models  Material Properties/Loads  Simulate the Model Firing a Single Shot

  7. Example Problem Given the following: Pro/E Models of Bullet and Barrel Components Material Props and P-T Curve Data build virtual models that match M856 dynamic characteristics
