Suppression of recoil in military equipment
Novák, Ondřej ; Žáček, Jiří (referee) ; Klapka, Milan (advisor)
The bachelor´s thesis focuses on dampening the recoil force generated by gunshots in military technology. For this purpose, several methods are currently used, which however limit the possible capabilities of firearms with respect to their accuracy and fire rate effective while being inadaptable to variations in the firing cycle. The goal of this thesis is therefore the compilation of currently used methods and subsequent selection of areas where these methods could be substituted or amended by applying magnetorheological technology. In the first phase a research study was carried out describing the technical solutions currently in use for recoil dampening. Approximate values of recoil brake forces and energies for a commonly used weapon system was also included. In the discussion part of the thesis, the research was then evaluated with respect to the possible application of magnetorheological dampening elements. The main areas suitable for the use of this technology are large-caliber cannons and automatic cannons, in which their use could improve their accuracy and increase the controllable rate of fire while limiting the load on the carriages of these weapons. Based on this thesis, further research may be carried out, focusing on a comprehensive analysis and modelling of magnetorheological buffer use in of the mentioned areas.
