Calculating the launcher tube thickness of a combined weapon model

Abstract

This article presents the optimal solution of optimizing launcher-tubes’
thickness for a combined weapon model. The effect of mechanical
loading and influence of temperature is taken into the optimal tube
thickness problem. The considered model is applied to the decoy rocket
with warhead consisting of 6 modules.The results were compared to the
actual thickness of launcher tube to examine the accuracy of the
considered model. They also serve as the basis for researching related
issues and completing the designs of decoy rocket tube.
