Friction at low speeds is accepted as the most dominant destabilizing factor in gun turrets, since precise aiming to the target is conducted at low speeds. So, the causes and mechanisms of friction in gun turrets should be investigated. The friction is mainly caused by the bearings in the rotation axes. In this thesis, investigation on the friction torque of a double row roller slewing bearing which is operated in the azimuth axis of a gun turret is performed. For this purpose, a friction measurement test setup is designed and friction torque measurements are conducted. Tests are performed at various speeds and loading conditions. Friction sources are decoupled and examined separately in order to fully understand effect of each component on friction torque of the slewing bearing. Therefore, friction caused by rolling motion and friction caused by two different types of lip seals are investigated. In addition, friction identification analyses are performed. In the analysis, load distribution of the bearing is calculated by finite element analysis software and rolling motion is simulated with a multibody dynamic analysis program. Consequently, analyses results are compared and verified with the test results.

Experimental Determination and Analytical Model of Friction Torque of a Double Row Roller Slewing Bearing Dindar, Ahmet; Akkök, Metin; Çalışkan, Mehmet (2017-03-01) In this paper, investigation on the friction torque of a double row roller slewing bearing which is operated in the azimuth axis of a gun turret is performed. For this purpose, a friction measurement test setup is designed and friction torque measurements are conducted. Tests are performed at low speeds and various loading conditions. Friction sources are decoupled and examined separately in order to fully understand effect of each component on friction torque of the slewing bearing. Therefore, friction cau...
Controller design and implementation for a guidance kit used at spinning rockets and projectiles Günay, Görkem; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Çalışkan, Hakan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-4-28) Traditional spin-stabilized projectiles have disadvantages due to low accuracy and precision with respect to guided munitions. There are two main solutions to eliminate these disadvantages. The first one uses a drag brake mechanism to make 1-D guidance by making range correction. The second solution makes 2-D guidance. Since rotation dynamics of a spin-stabilized projectile is faster than existing servo actuators this solution requires isolation of the guidance kit from the rotation of the projectile body. ...
Analysis and control of gun barrel vibrations Büyükcivelek, Fırat; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Dursun, Tolga; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) Modern battle tanks are equipped with gun stabilization systems using gyro and encoder data to stabilize the gun barrel, although these systems are very sensitive and reliable, these systems assume the gun barrel as a rigid beam, and do not use information from.
Thermo-mechanical finite element analysis and design of tail section for a ballistic missile Güler, Togan Kemal; Akkök, Metin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012) During the flight of missiles, depending on the flight conditions, rotation of missiles around its centerline can cause instabilities. To override this issue, missile generally is designed in 2 sections. In the missile, the rear tail section and the front section are to rotate freely by means of bearings. Tail section on which bearings are mounted is designed according to thermal loads due to flow of hot gasses through the nozzle and mechanical loads due to inertial load, interference fit and thread preload...
Experimental analysis on the measurement of ballistic properties of solid propellants Cuerdaneli, S.; Ak, M. A.; Ulaş, Abdullah (2007-06-16) Ballistic properties of solid propellants play an important role in the performance of the solid propellant rocket motors. Therefore, ballistic properties of a likely propellant should be known and provided to the design engineers. In this study, a specific AP/HTPB composite solid propellant (SCP) was examined to obtain steady-state linear burning rates as a function of pressure and propellant initial temperature, temperature sensitivity, and pressure deflagration limit (PDL). In some tests micro-thermocoup...
