Design Buckling Curves for Gun Launched Rockets,

Abstract

An investigation of elastic buckling of gun-launched motor cases is considered. The SATANS finite difference computer program was used for the analysis. Comparative results from other buckling models were obtained to verify the results. The results are summarized in a set of design curves and show that for the proposed design parameters, the elastic behavior is exceeded before buckling can occur. (Author)
