description In order to solve the problems of insufficient precision of the armature velocity and inductance gradient in the process of finite element calculation of the electromagnetic track launcher, an improved dynamic conductivity electromagnetic-thermal coupling model is proposed to make the calculated results closer to the actual working condition. Firstly, the finite element analysis for the electromagnetic-thermal field is carried out. Then, considering the influence of dynamic conductivity on the armature velocity and inductance gradient, an improved dynamic conductivity electromagnetic-thermal coupling model based on finite element analysis is established, whose parameters are identified by the proposed PSO-GA hybrid algorithm. Moreover, the predicted values of armature velocity and inductance gradient are also obtained. Finally, the experimental platform of the electromagnetic track launcher is built to verify the improved model. By comparing the predicted value of the improved model with the experimental test value, it is found that the improved model can further reduce the calculated error from 5.79% to 1.18%, which provides a certain theoretical basis for the full true simulation of the electromagnetic track launch.
