Structure buckling and non-probabilistic reliability analysis of supercavitating vehicles

摘要

To perform structure buckling and reliability analysis on supercavitating vehicles with high velocity in the submarine,supercavitating vehicles were simplified as variable cross section beam firstly.Then structural buckling analysis of supercavitating vehicles with or without engine thrust was conducted,and the structural buckling safety margin equation of supercavitating vehicles was established.The indefinite information was described by interval set and the structure reliability analysis was performed by using non-probabilistic reliability method.Considering interval variables as random variables which satisfy uniform distribution,the Monte-Carlo method was used to calculate the non-probabilistic failure degree.Numerical examples of supercavitating vehicles were presented.Under different ratios of base diameter to cavitator diameter,the change tendency of non-probabilistic failure degree of structural buckling of supercavitating vehicles with or without engine thrust was studied along with the variety of speed.
