Study on influencing factors of adapters separating with the underwater missile

摘要

To analyze main factors affecting the separation reliability between a missile and adapters for the launching process,a six DOF underwater dynamic model for the missile and adapters is utilized to simulate the separation process,considering elastic forces of separating springs,hydrodynamic forces,gravity and buoyancy.Moreover,a criterion based on the maximum separating distance is put forward to determine whether adapters separate with the missile reliably.The results show that the magnitude and position of elastic force,the wedge angle and mass of the adapter significantly affect the separating process.The local sensitivity analysis for the reference status of design parameters demonstrates that the wedge angle of adapters has the maximum influence about 70.4% on the separating distance.
