Performance of a smart direct fire penetrator using a ram air controlled mechanism

Creator:

Chandgadkar, Siddharth Suhaschandra

Abstract:

The effectiveness of a direct fire penetrator projectile equipped with an actively controlled ram air mechanism is investigated through dynamic simulation. The ram air control mechanism consists of a rotary sleeve valve which directs air flow from an inlet at the center of the nose to side ports. The projectile...

Dynamic modeling, control and linear theory of a projectile equipped with a rotating internal part

Creator:

Frost, Geoffrey W.

Abstract:

Dynamic modeling of the atmospheric flight mechanics of a projectile equipped with an uncontrolled internal rotating disk is investigated and a modified projectile linear theory is established. It is shown through modeling of this type of projectile that several coefficients of the epicyclic dynamics are altered, leading to changes in...
