C. Boundary Conditions
Symmetrical boundary conditions are applied in quarter
symmetry model of bullet and nozzle. As per Engineering
Equipment & Material Users' Association (EEMUA) 190:
2005 standard, the mounded bullet is supported on a sand
foundation with sand bed at an angle of 1200. As per the
standard it has been considered two support cases for the
bullet (Fig. 6).

E. Load Combinations
There are three load combinations considered in the
analysis for two support conditions, middle soft case and
middle hard case, as mentioned in clause A.4.2.10 of EEMUA
190: 2005.
