TITLE: Design and fabrication of a bench mount test fixture for
recoil measurement

Scope of the work:

The Statement of Work (SOW) describes the services required by
Defence R&D Canada - Valcartier (DRDC Valcartier) aim at
carrying out the following objectives :

The objective of this work is to develop, fabricate and test
three (3) bench mount test fixtures for recoil measurement and a
test fixture to characterise the components of these recoil test
fixtures. The three recoil test fixtures will be designed and
built sequentially with increasing levels of complexity. The
first recoil test fixture will only have translation motion in
the x-axis (one-degree-of-freedom). The second test fixture will
allow rotation in the vertical and horizontal planes about the
end of the butt stock in addition to the x-axis translation
(three-degrees-of-freedom). The third test fixture will add more
degrees-of-freedom to the previous test fixture for an
appropriate representation of the hands, arms, cheek and body of
the shooter. The same data acquisition system and computer must
be used for all test fixtures. The test fixtures must be usable
by DRDC to analyse recoil force, displacement, and acceleration
as function of time and frequency.
