The inverse problem of superfast contact theory for an accelerated body with orthotropic conduction

Abstract

One of the reasons restricting the use of conductors in railguns [1, 2] is the break of the current collector. This results from the current concentration in the neighborhood of the angle point A (Fig. 1), in the region with characteristic size A ~ p2/(#oV), where p2 is the specific resistance and V is the velocity of
