445. Headquarters, US Army Materiel Command, 1972, - 293 p.Sabots are used as supports for projectiles during gun tube travel. When high velocity is the desired characteristic of the supported projectile, the lightest weight sabot feasible is desired. Generally, engineering steps taken to minimize sabot weight increase the stress and deformation requirements imposed upon the sabot during its travel through the bore of the gun. This handbook presents engineering design procedures for sabots. It takes into consideration the conflicting criteria associated with maximum performance and maximum reliability.Contents:
Introduction.
Sabot system analysis.
Structural design considerations.
Experimental methods for sabot development.
