Claims:
- Use of shear line areas to determine peak pressure
and pressure as a function of time throughout cartridge burn.
- Use
of propellant compression data at first bullet movement to determine
shear line length. Definition of the texture term "T" and its effect
on chamber pressure in the burn area equation.
- Use of the dO and dI terms
to determine maximum pressure as a function of burn time.
- Use of the
lO and lI terms to determine burn areas.
- Recognition of the burn area
equation and how it changes as a function of time.
