A Technique for the Alternate Firing and Cycling of Cannon Tubes.

Abstract

A technique is described to test the correlation of fatigue effects in cannon tubes due to hydraulic cycling and conventional firing tests. The technique is dependent on the packing system that effects a high pressure seal on the irregular and damaged cannon bore surface. The development of this packing system is discussed. (Author)
