Numerical Simulation of Launch Tube Based on Container–type Missile Launch Technology

AbstractAccording to the features of container–type missile launch technology for multi-barrel rocket, combined with non-lethal weapons in the field of application, a new concept about the launching unit for anti-riot rockets, which was the integration of storing and launching non-lethal rockets, was proposed. The load bearing on the launcher was analyzed and engineering plastics were selected as launch tube materials. Combined the computer aided design software Pro/Engineer with the finite analysis software ANSYS, the numerical simulation of the launch tube was created. To ensure the launch tube design according with the theoretical design requirements, the stress and displacement of the launch tube under the maximum load were analyzed in comparison. The results reflected that the stiffness and intensity of launch tube can fully meet the needs for launching
