Modelling of Dynamics of Rocket Projectile Motion with the PRODAS Software

Abstract

The paper has been intended to present the issues of studying dynamic properties of a rocket projectile. The study has been carried out and presented as the following sequence: theoretical analyses, experimental testing works, and their verification. With the theory of modelling applied, a physical model of a rocket projectile has been generated. A mathematical model has been formulated using the PRODAS software. With the latter one as the basis, simulation-based analyses have been made. Mass and aerodynamic characteristics and the most essential parameters of the flight path/trajectory have been found. What follows is the discussion of the experimantal study of fundamental dynamic characteristics. Comparison of theoretically found results and those gained experimentally proves the generated model to be correct.
