Scattered Light Photoelastic Analysis of a Projectile Bulkhead to Structural Case Joint

Abstract

Photoelastic stress analysis of the bulkhead-to-structural case pin joint of a projectile was carried out using the scattered light technique. Analysis provided three-dimensional stress distributions in critical areas of the joint including the pinhole, pin bearing surfaces, and joint bearing surfaces. Stress gradients through the wall were found to be large; however, stress concentrations were found to be moderate with a maximum value of 3.7.
