Abstract

Abstract:

To solve the problems existing in the modular design of gun equipment,such as the insufficient overall of common modules and the lack of adaptability evaluation,a design method of modular firepower system for multi-platform universal artillery is proposed.Taking a large-caliber artillery as the research object,A modular design process based on launch dynamics is established using the parametric modeling and multi-level optimization algorithm,and the corresponding fitness evaluation method and tool are developed.The fitness evaluation tool is used to evaluate the universal design of firepower system on a 4 types of chassis.The results show that the tracked chassis can be fully adapted; for the wheeled chassis,the loading amount needs to be reduced; for the truck chassis,the position of seat ring needs to be adjusted; and for the amphibious chassis,the weight needs to be reduced by more than 55%.The design process and evaluation method significantly improve the simulation and optimization design efficiency of gun equipment,and can be directly applied to the similar problems of more design variables and working conditions,providing a strong technical support for the modular design and optimization of weapon equipment.

Key words: artillery, modularization, multi-platform universal, adaptability assessment, launch dynamics
