Dynamic and Structural Analysis of Reusable Shipping and Storage Container for Encapsulated Harpoon Missile (RGM-84A)

Abstract

A dynamic and structural analysis of a proposed reusable Shipping and Storage Container for the Encapsulated HARPOON Missile was made by the Naval Weapons Handling Laboratory as part of the design study for such container. The subject design incorporates a freebreathing fiberglass pod containing the encapsulated weapon. The pod and weapon are suspended from a truss-like outer structure by elastomeric mounts configured in a laterally focalized fashion. The analysis generates isolator parameters which attenuate the handling and transportation shock and vibration environment to safe levels for the weapon and verifies that the structural design concept can sustain the resulting loads.
