COMPUTER SIMULATIONS OF ARTILLERY S&A MECHANISMS (INVOLUTE GEAR TRAIN AND PIN PALLET RUNAWAY ESCAPEMENT)

摘要

Computer simulations of complete safing and arming mechanisms containing pin pallet runaway escapements, two or three-pass involute gear trains and spin driven rotors were developed. The three motion regimes of the runaway escape¬ment, i.e., coupled motion, free motion and impact, were included. In addition, the ability to consider the effects of pallets with arbitrarily located centers of mass has been introduced. Further, the contact forces of the gear trains and the escapement may be obtained.
