A Finite Difference Approach to Modeling High Velocity/Variable Loads using the Timoshenko Beam Model
Electromagnetic launchers (railguns) are set to replace traditional large caliber ship mounted cannons in the near future. The success of the railgun depends heavily upon a comprehensive understanding of beam behavior during periods of heavy dynamic loading. It is hypothesized that the combination...
