“…In [19] examples of considerations related to the vibrations of a tank cannon were presented, including the influence of barrel vibrations of a 120 mm cannon on projectile behaviour. An experimental-numerical analysis of machine gun barrel vibrations during active firing has also been investigated [20]. Pressure changes within the barrel and their impact on dynamic weapon structure loading were also considered.…”

Modern wheeled armoured vehicles can perform a variety of tasks, making the development of weapon systems that can be safely and effectively integrated with the vehicle structure an area of interest. Due to the cost of implementing new models, it is more economical to test potential configurations using numerical methods, such as the finite element method. The numerical model has been validated to confirm the reliability of the obtained results. Modal tests were also performed using four configurations to identify the frequency and mode shape of natural vibrations occurring within the support structure. In an experimental setting, hull vibrations were forced using the modal hammer testing method. The modal assurance criterion (MAC) and the authors’ procedure were used to confirm the experimental and numerical test results. Additional testing in the form of impact loads was carried out for turret-containing structures. Structural strain at indicated points and forces transmitted by brackets to the bottom of the hull were compared.

On the battlefield, modern vehicles perform a variety of roles. Transportation is one of the most fundamental. Operating in different terrains, including urban areas, means exposing the crew to different hazards. To increase crew protection, passive and active protection systems are used. On the other hand, in addition to protection, support of the infantry in offensive operations is an equally important activity. The most common solution for medium wheeled vehicles is a manned turret. The weapon is a 30 mm cannon. Nowadays, there is a trend towards installing systems that allow such weapons to be operated remotely. This minimises the exposure of highly trained personnel. This paper presents the results of a numerical study of the dynamic loads on the roof-plate structure of a wheeled armoured personnel carrier resulting from the firing of the vehicle's main armament. It includes the values of the strains and stresses in the upper plate structure and the forces transmitted by the brackets connecting the roof plate to the bottom plate, and an assessment of the risk of using such a system on the safety of the vehicle structure and its crew.
