The AMI code allows to calculate, e.g., the spatial distribution of pressure, temperature, and intergranular stress inside the granular propellant bed and its variation with time. By means of the simulator experiments pressure-time records both inside the propellant bed and at the chamber wall are obtained and the forces exerted on the projectile base measured. This paper describes the theoretical basis of the AMI code and the experimental techniques applied and compares in detail the calculated and measured spatial distribution histories both for regular sh ots and for shots using igniters which were modified to enhance pressure wave development due to unilateral ignition near the breech.
