Abstract:

In this paper, the tripod's design and analysis are carried out in order to determine the stability of the tripod, which is utilised as a support for launching the article. The influence of the masses of the launch tube, support system, and article, as well as the forces produced by the article during launch, are taken into account when determining the stability of the tripod while it is fastened to the ground. The tripod is designed with Solid Works programme, and static structural analysis, modal analysis, and harmonic analysis are performed with FEA software Ansys workbench. The behaviour of the tripod as a result of abrupt loading when launching the article is depicted. In addition, the tripod is tested for buckling to determine its durability.
