The author provides a mathematical framework for determining the stresses and strains within a gun barrel caused by internal pressure, examining scenarios with varying levels of internal and external pressures. The text discusses fundamental concepts such as elastic limit, special elasticity, and modulus of elasticity, and explores the relationship between stress, strain, and elastic resistance. Through equations and diagrams, the author illustrates how the tangential and radial stresses in a gun barrel can be calculated, and how these stresses affect the overall strength and safety of the gun. By understanding the elastic behavior of guns, engineers can design and build artillery that can withstand the immense forces generated during firing, ensuring accuracy and reliability on the battlefield.
