Investigation of Adaptive Control for Recoil Mechanisms.

Abstract

The Continuous System Simulation Language (CSSL) computer programs are developed in conjunction with the derivation of the mathematical models and optimum algorithm to study the effect of various orifice control laws on the optimal control for the M-37 recoil mechanism. The optimal control greatly decreases the average rod pull peak force and causes the force to level out to a nearly constant value following the peak. Based on the analysis of the acceleration signals of the recoil mechanism, a microprocessor based digital controller is designed to control the orifice area controller. (Author)
