Description
As part of MENG 5137 and MFGE 4321, we were selected by GSU’s Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Departments and Daniel Defense to create a destructive testing capsule for new firearms. This Sub-group was tasked to develop a universal mounting system capable of withstanding testing of up to a .338 Lapua Magnum. To do this task, 5 modular components were created in Solidworks and tested in ANSYS to evaluate the viability of the design under testing loads. Upon completion of computer-assisted simulations, a team of Manufacturing engineers developed an assembly protocol for the parts not currently available on the market. After construction, this sled will be tested, using a 1903a3 chambered in 30-06 being at 90% of the free recoil produced by a .338 Lapua Magnum, prior to presenting it to Daniel Defense. Fit and form will also be tested using the firearms available through members in the group in conjunction with the remote firing team.
