First Approximation to Fluid Flow in Recoil Systems

Abstract

This Technical Note presents the results on the analysis and design of recoil mechanisms. This note deals with the approximation of fluid flow in a recoil system. The M102 Howitzer, XM37 Recoil Mechanism, is the model studied in this investigation. The M102 Howitzer is a lightweight, towed-typed, 105mm field artillery weapon suited for airborne and air assault operations. The XM37 Recoil Mechanism is a hydro-pneumatic dependant type of recoil mechanism.
