Description
Summary:The purpose of this paper is to analyze the structural stability of an underwater high-speed vehicle. The drag characteristics of a moving body moving at high speed in water were analyzed, and a stability analysis of the structure was performed by applying the non-conservative property according to the driven force in a rocket propulsion environment. To this end, the fluid characteristics that enable high-speed maneuvering in an underwater environment were described, and the structural stability was analyzed by simplifying modeling by increasing the resulting drag. In addition, for high-speed underwater movement, an analysis of the following force according to drag and axial load and the effect on structural stability was conducted by simplifying the structure attached to a specific location when a supercavitation occurs.
