Transient Shock Analysis of the MK-48 ADCAP Torpedo Weapon Stowage System

A large 3D finite element model for transient dynamic analysis of a weapon stowage system assembly was constructed. The model includes general contact between various components as well as the nonlinear behavior (including large strain, hyperelasticity, and contact) of the system that supports a torpedo mounted dispenser (TMD). ABAQUS/Explicit was used to carry out the calculations.
