| Abstract: | A nonlinear mathematic model taking the nutation and precession angles as variables for the coning motion of projectile was established according to a short period moment projection of the spining projectile. By introducing the generalized nutation angle and precession angular speed, the model that is difficult to be resolved can be transformed to a resolvable one. The interrelationship between nutation and precession was analyzed based on the linear model, and the stability condition was obtained for the spinning projectile. For the nonlinear model, the effects of the nutation and precession on the limit circle of the projectile's coning motion were investigated, and the analytical relations between the nutation angle and the precession angular speed in the steady coning motion of the spinning projectile were given. |
