Launch Dynamic Characteristics of Mortar Based on the Mohr-Coulomb Soil Constitutive Model
As a brand-new mortar layout, the vehicle-mounted mortars have higher fire maneuverability. The current soil constitutive model is unable to describe the rate effect and energy dissipation behavior, which seriously affects the numerical simulation accuracy of the dynamic response of vehicle-mounted mortar during launching. A Mohr-Coulomb-based soil constitutive model is developed based on Perzyna viscoplastic framework. A finite element model of body-baseplate-soil coupling system for a vehicle-mounted mortar is established, and the launching dynamics of the vehicle-mounted mortar is calculated by using the proposed soil constitutive model and the traditional M-C constitutive model, respectively. The calculation accuracy and stability of the proposed soil constitutive model under impact conditions are verified by comparing the simulated results with the stress and displacement data obtained from the shooting test . In this study, the dynamic responses of vehicle-mounted mortar under the working conditions of clay and medium hard soil, ±5 ° slope position and continuous shooting are further calculated. The results show that the initial transient impact stress and settlement amount of clay are significantly higher than those of medium hard soil due to viscous damping effect in terms of position adaptability. However, the slope position of ±5 ° can effectively dissipate the normal impact energy and attenuate the vertical subsidence and rebound amplitude of the baseplate. In addition, the multi-step calculation of continuous shooting and gravity preloading proves that the impact compaction and rigidity of soil are strengthened. Although this mechanism effectively limits the displacement accumulation during continuous shooting, it makes the baseplate bear significantly increased extreme stress in subsequent shooting. This study provides a reliable theoretical model and numerical basis for the evaluation of position adaptability, the analysis of continuous firing stability and the design of baseplate structure of vehicle-mounted mortar under complex terrain conditions.
