Abstract:

Canard dual-spin projectiles may exhibit a significant angle of attack during flight, challenging the original stability criteria derived under the assumption of small attack angles. Thus, it is difficult to accurately judge the flight stability of projectiles under such conditions. In this paper, the nonlinear angular motion and bifurcation characteristics of such projectiles are studied. An improved six-degree-of-freedom ballistic equation of canard dual-spin projectiles is established with the geometric nonlinearity and aerodynamic nonlinearity considered, and the accurate generalized motion equation of complex attack angle and its corresponding state space model are deduced. Accordingly, numerical methods are used to analyze the influence of different factors on the bifurcation characteristics and limit cycle radius of the system. The results show that the nonlinear of lift and Magnus moment and the flight velocity are the main factors affecting the bifurcation characteristics of the system. The increase of the control force and moment of canards and air density tend to reduce the limit cycle radius. The radius of the limit cycle may be reduced in controlled flight compared with that in uncontrolled flight, but it is approximately independent of the control orientation of the front body roll angle, that is, the change of front body roll angle has little impact on flight stability.
