A study on launch site ground of vehicle-mounted missile based on elastic layer theory

With the widespread use of the vehicle-mounted missile launching system, the research of launch site ground becomes very important. The loading of missile launch system under the supporting disk is similar to inverted bell, and its radius and size of the missile launching are much more than a car. So the ready-made equivalent modulus formula under the action of circular uniformly distributed loading is not suitable for the calculation of launch site ground of vehicle-mounted missile. Therefore, based on the elastic layered system and the Gauss–Legendre numerical calculation method, a new calculation method of equivalent modulus is proposed, as well as the regression formulation for calculation of equivalent modulus of foundation is also shown. Based on the above analysis, a launch site ground mechanical model is presented. The thin plate model on elastic half-space foundation was formulated taking into account normal direction and the double-layer elastic system model was proposed for in tangential direction. Validity of the model was done by coring the programming calculation with the finite element numerical simulation for selected cases.
