Energy Absorption and Dissipation Devices
Abstract
A research investigation was conducted to determine new and efficient methods to accomplish energy absorption and dissipation for high cyclic rate weapon recoil mechanisms. The main requirements of energy absorbing systems are reviewed and the relationships between impact velocity, displacement, deceleration profile and time are discussed in detail. A literature search on energy devices was conducted from which the following two mechanisms were selected for further evaluation; a rolling toroid mechanism and a reverse wound flat coil spring. Mathematical analyses and models were prepared for the selected mechanisms.
