Analysis of topical issues of rifle barrel fluting influence on thermal calculation

Abstract

Designing the barrels of modern weapons—from tank guns and grenade launchers to precision rifles and machine guns—requires comprehensive consideration of the complex thermal and mechanical processes that occur during firing. These processes are associated with extreme heating and pressure conditions, presenting a challenge for designers to accurately analyze the thermodynamic effects on barrel materials. The reliability, durability, and performance of weapons depend on the effective management of these processes, making thermal analysis of barrels an important scientific task.
