Photoelastic Stress Analysis of 7.62mm M-14 Rifle Bolt

Abstract

A two-dimensional photoelastic analysis of the stress distribution in the lug area of the M-14 rifle bolt is described. Curves showing thevaluation of maximum fillet stress and shear stress gradient with comer fillet radius are presented. Results for a number of undercut geometriesare also presented.
