Abstract

In this paper, an indirect decoupling method is established to simulate the physical process of an electromagnetic launch considering electromagnetic force, thermo-softening of metallic material, and melting interface layer effects. The dynamic responses of cambered surface rail and armature under electromagnetic and thermal loads are analyzed and a simulation method is provided for the engineering applications of electromagnetic launch technology.
