A Static Structural Analysis of Various Major Component Joining Designs for the 8-Inch Guided Projectile
Abstract
This report contains a description of the structural analysis of several candidate joining designs for major components of the 8-inch Guided Projectile. The analyses contained herein are not intended to be rigorous in approach, but are conducted in such a manner as to cover the pertinent design details which would effect the overall structural integrity of both the joining mechanism itself and the adjacent sections of the major components involved. The information contained in this report includes analyses of: (1) the three-section ring or 'Marman' band concept for both the warhead/afterbody and warhead/ guidance and control interfaces, (2) the two-ring inverted 'Marman' band, (3) the press-fit approach (also for both warhead interfaces), and (4) the bolted- joint concept. The results of these analyses indicate that the simpler bolted- joint design exhibits the greatest potential for success, although no design is completely void of potential problem areas. Recommendations are made to improve the design where possible.
