Abstract

The analytical and numerical mathematic analysis of phenomena occurring in the railway accelerator has been presented in the work. The formulas describing the forces acting on the accelerated element (bullet) for different models of the accelerator have been derived. The process of improving the electrodynamic launcher models has been additionally presented. For each type of the accelerator the analytic and numeric calculations have been done (finite element method). The results have been presented in the form of charts to compare the parameters of all analyzed models. The dimensions of rails and bullet for each model have been assumed to be the same.
