The barrel is constrained only to the turret only. It is smooth bore, auto-frettaged and chrome-platted. It is made up of a single layer of material properties of which I have provided.
Homework Statement
I need to find thermal stresses that will be produced in a tank barrel as a result of firing. First of all, I want to know if theses stresses can be small enough to be neglected? And if not, then how can they be calculated? I basically know the solution but I want to be sure...
