Semi-analytical method for calculating aeroelastic effect of profiled rod flying at high velocity

The key technique of a kinetic energy rod (KER) warhead is to control the flight attitude of rods. The rods are usually designed to different shapes. A new conceptual KER named profiled rod which has large L/D ratio is described in this paper. The elastic dynamic equations of this profiled rod flyin...
