NASTRAN Structural Analysis of a Missile Fuze Electronic Assembly.

Abstract

The structure of the XM818 Fuze Electronic Assembly for application in the PATRIOT missile was analyzed by using the NASTRAN computer program. The levels and locations of maximum stress were found for a static loading. The shapes and frequencies of the lowest vibration modes were also computed. However, because of several limiting assumptions in the analysis, the stress levels for dynamic loads were not included. Experiments are recommended to obtain this information. (Author)
