Stress Analysis of an Overloaded Breech Ring

Abstract

A two-dimensional model of the meridian section of a breech ring was made of a photoplastic material which had been calibrated optically and mechanically. The location and magnitude of the maximum fillet stress in an overloaded breech ring was determined experimentally and numerically. Residual stress resulting from elastic unloading was calculated. The comparison between numerical and experimental results is satisfactory.
