Abstract

In present study, a virtual prototype of self-propelled artillery was constructed based on virtual prototype technology, and the whole impact process of artillery firing simulation was completed using ADAMS and AMEsim software. Results showed that the constructed artillery firing simulation system was reasonable. It could add a recoil dynamic response suitable for live firing to the tested artillery and could detect the vibration response characteristics of the artillery through the test device. Through numerical simulation, a quantitative analysis of artillery firing stability, stress state, and fatigue life under different working conditions was performed. All simulation results were in good agreement with the real situation. This research provides a certain reference for the evaluation of artillery firing stability and lays a good theoretical foundation for the engineering development and practical application of the test device.
