A Damage mechanics finite element numerical computation method was established based on HLC microscopic damage model to solve the problem of damage, crack initialization and growth inside bore during the firing process. The damage and failure process of the bore surface was simulated numerically during multiple rounds of firing. The law of the barrel material performance changing with the number of firing rounds was analyzed during the engraving process of the driving band and compared with the experimental results. It is proved that HLC microscopic damage model can show the complicate damage behavior and predict the cracking defect, which provides a reference for safety design of the gun barrel.
