Numerical Analysis of Contact Stress for Wedged-ring Connection Structure of Thin-wall Cylinder
The wedged-ring connection between torpedo segments is essential to the mechanical properties of the torpedo shell structure, which belongs to thin-wall cylinder structure. The wedged-ring connection structure had been improved in order to solve the problem of disassembly and assembly of certain product. Contact stress analysis method for wedged-ring connection was proposed based on ANSYS Workbench and UGNX4.0 by considering the non-linear characteristic. The coherence between simulation and experiment results has testified the validity of the proposed method.
