摘要：Canister is a cylindrical shaped container, one end of which is open, in which bird specimen or icepellets are loaded and fired in ice-pellet launcher system. The canister is propelled through the length of the gun barrelby means of compressed air and is arrested by canister arrester. High speed stainless canister with uniform and variablewall thickness is designed and then manufactured by the process of metal spinning in a spinning machine. For thecanister to collapse without cracking, it is heat treated by annealing process. The base portion of the canister ishardened and the open end is made soft for it to collapse in desired fashion. The deformation of canister depends uponits length, internal diameter, wall thickness, shape of back face, hardness and ductility of the material. The study ofcollapsible characteristics of the canister is done using ABAQUS/Explicit software. For this 3D CAD modelling isdone using CATIA V5 software and finite element meshing is done using HYPERMESH software. Collapsiblecharacteristics of the canister are observed for uniform and variable wall thickness canisters, at different velocities. Theresult of this dynamic simulation which deals with the collapsibility characteristics of canister will be compared, at fewspecific velocities, for a few specific canister geometries, with the results of tests to be conducted on actual metalliccanisters, in the canister launcher, now operational at the college.
