Course correction munition are a weapson system for precision attacks and are assembled by applying a ballistic control system to existing projectiles. The roll control system is a subsystem of the ballistic control system and is placed between the guidance and control units inside of the projectile, which undergoes a 5000g lateral acceleration. Thus, it is very important to design the system to endure this load. Many developed countries evaluate the performance and safety of course correction munitions' parts using live-fire gun launch tests or a soft recovery system. However, these methods are expensive and slow. Thus, in this study, we develop impact analysis model of the roll control system using CAE. We apply the code to simulate impact phenomenon and use Johnson-Cook material model for modeling the high strain rate effect on the materials. We also design bearings in detail to analyze their behavior and verify the reliability of CAE model through gas-gun impact tests of the roll control system.

This paper describes the finite element analysis and die design change of spring retainer forging process to reduce the cold forging load and plastic forming stress concentration. Plastic deformation analysis was carried out in order to understand the forming process of workpieces and elastic stress analysis of the die set was performed in order to get basic data for the die fatigue life estimation. Cold forging die design was set up to each process with different four types analysis progressing, the upper and lower dies shapes with combination of fillets and chamfers shapes of cold forging dies. This study suggested optimal cold forging die geometry to reduce cold forging load. The design parameters of fillets and chamfers are selected geometry were selected to apply optimization with the DoE (design of experiment) and Taguchi method. DoE and Taguchi method was performed to optimize the workpiece preform shape for spring retainer forging process, it was possible to expect an increase in cold forging die life due to the 20 percentage forging load reduction.
