Design and Analysis of a Fully Functional Rolleron

Abstract

With rapid and continual advancements in military defence capabilities, the need to improve the missile technology in terms of accuracy, speed, range and guidance has become requisite. Considering the researches and innovations in the development of sophisticated, precise and novel missiles, this project aims at introducing the concept of rollerons –for passive guidance of missile systems. Working on the principle of gyroscopic effect, the dynamics of this unique and simple device transcends the human comprehension until thoroughly studied and researched. An in-depth and detailed insight into this technology has been explained, followed by its 3D modelling on SOLIDWORKS and analysis on ANSYS. The scope of the project had to be made limited due to the current pandemic situation, during which fabrication of this project could not be done. However, recommendations for future work have been added at the end so as to carry on this project in the years to come.
