Increasing the fatigue life of the firearm firing pin using the explicit solver
Adamec, Tomáš ; Petruška, Jindřich (referee) ; Šebek, František (advisor)
Firing pin is a critical component in terms of firearm function. Tip of firing pin can break off due to repeated impact loading, which results in malfunction of the whole firearm. This master's thesis aims to propose changes in geometry of the firing pin so that new firing pin will be more durable against fatigue failure. Geometry and characteristics of the original firing pin are provided by company Česká zbrojovka, a.s. To determine the amount of fatigue damage for specific configuration of firing pin, computational model, which simulates impact loading of the firing pin during dry fire, is created. Finite element method with explicit formulation is used for the calculation. Parameters of geometry, which are assumed to have highest influence on fatigue life, are chosen based on the analisys of the original firing pin. These parameters are changed in further calculations, resulting in new configuration of the firing pin, which is approximately 15 % more durable against fatigue failure.

Analytical model of gun firing mechanism dynamics
Tkadlec, Josef ; Strecker, Zbyněk (referee) ; Šperka, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is devoted to creation of the analytical model of the dynamics of gun firing mechanism, that is used for design of individual parts of the mechanism, allowing the primer to be initiated properly. This analytical model has been verified by experimental measurement of the real mechanism operation from Brno Combo shotgun using a high speed camera Vision Research Phantom v710. In addition, the minimal energy, needed for initiation of FOCCHI 616 (.209 TYPE) primer, was experimentally measured using the test device and the high-speed camera. The results of experimental measurement of minimal initiation energies were compared with the experimental data from Sellier & Bellot primer producer.

Explicit dynamic finite element analysis of a firing pin assembly
Mochar, Dominik ; Gabriel, Dušan ; Masák, Jan ; Kopačka, Ján ; Kolman, Radek ; Plešek, Jiří ; Hynek, P. ; Vtípil, J.
In this paper, explicit dynamic finite element analysis of a firing pin assembly was performed. Two different geometries of the firing pin were considered using the finite element software PMD and Abaqus. For both variants there was evaluated a stress distribution at the critical point of a tested component, that is going to be later used for a fatigue analysis of the firing pin.
