Approximate Analysis of the Initial Internal Pressure Distribution Within a 105mm Muzzle Brake

Abstract

The method of characteristics is used to predict propellent gas pressure on an experimental muzzle brake attached to a 105mm M68 gun. The analysis is limited to the time during which the gas reaches and impinges on the baffles. The purpose of the analysis was to develop a means of predicting pressure distributions for use in stress analyses of muzzle brakes.
