Abstract:

In the working process of four rail electromagnetic launch, the thermal effect caused by current concentration will affect the launch accuracy and rail life. In order to alleviate the rail thermal damage and mechanical wear caused by high current, a copper based composite four rail electromagnetic launch model is proposed and its electromagnetic characteristics are studied. The current density and magnetic field distribution of composite and common four rail electromagnetic launch are simulated and compared by using finite element method; The effects of the parameters of the composite layer on the current density, magnetic field intensity and armature force are analyzed. The simulation results show that the composite four rail electromagnetic launch can reduce the current density and improve the current distribution of the armature rail interface; The composite four track electromagnetic launch has a larger magnetic field shielding range at a specific position, which can provide a good magnetic field environment for intelligent ammunition; The current density, magnetic field intensity and armature thrust increase with the increase of the thickness ratio of copper to steel.

Key words: electromagnetic launch, quadrupole magnetic field, composite orbit, electromagnetic characteristics, finite element simulation
