Abstract
Pechora missile system is an old and vintage system used for launching surface-to-air missiles. The launcher beams of the Pechora missile system undergo fatigue over time due to structural load, wear and tear, and ageing. This results in crack propagation which ultimately leads to the failure of the launcher beam structure. In this research work, the structural integrity of the launcher beam is investigated by performing analysis of launcher beam using Finite Element Method (FEM). The paper concludes by suggesting methods to optimize the design of the launcher beam to overcome structural failure.
