General Engineer. Retired 10 years ago after 30 years at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. At the time of my retirement, I was the Advanced Engineering Analysis group leader in Weapons Division. We analyzed complicated systems and structures using state-of-the-art hardware and software. See my Engineering Page.
A typical requests for analysis went something like this: This design is cast in concrete and can t be changed, but there is a problem. We want you to fix it without changing anything.
Statement: Sometimes a very simple experiment can be worth reams of legal opinions. Distortions amplified by 500X.
OBJECTIVE.. The objective of this study was to compare the FEA calculation results using the 3D model of the rifle to Test Data on an accurate benchrest rife. The dynamic response calculations gives some insight and understanding on what a tuner does to the motions of the rifle barrel and how a muzzle tuner might affect the accuracy of a rifle and Po
