Engineering Design Handbook. Breech Mechanism Design

Abstract

This handbook is devoted to a description of a rational design sequence and methodology needed to take a particular breech mechanism from conception-as prompted military needs and technical requirements generated for a given weapon-to the stage of acceptance and production. Major divisions of the handbook provide information and guidance on the various design interrelationships involved. Topics include: Breech Mechanism Types; Design Constraints--Ammunition Constraints, Weapon interfaces, Breech and subassemblies; Functional requirements, and Design requirements; Design Criteria and Procedures--Initiation through prototype; Development Criteria and Procedures, and Production Planning.
