Dynamic model of hybrid electromagnetic launcher for simulations in LabVIEW environment

Abstract

The paper presents dynamic model of a hybrid electromagnetic launcher consisting of three modules: air-gun, coil-gun and rail-gun. The model was elaborated and implemented in LabVIEW environment. It enables us to present easily in graphical way different dynamic curves, as well static characteristics. The model was verified by laboratory investigations performed for the selected cases. Final aim is to include the elaborated LabVIEW model in the modified automatic control system.
