Investigating the oscillation of the launching vehicle on the elastic background

Abstract

In this paper, the dynamics model of a launching vehicle on an elastic background is established using the Lagrange II approach. Using this model for a given launcher vehicle configuration, the vibrational laws of the vehicle and launcher motions are determined. Thereby, the feasibility of the structural model of the vehicle and launch pad was initially evaluated. The developed dynamic model can be used for structural design and shot optimization for a class of rocket-launching vehicles with the same structural principles.
