Abstract

Section 2 of the full paper discusses the representation of the pregnable area. Section 3 analyzes the influence of initial transverse velocity deviation on the pregnable area. Section 4 explains in some detail our new and effective method for evaluating three typical pregnable areas. Subsection 4.1 presents the method for evaluating the first typical pregnable area (T'0≤t0/2); subsection 4.2 discusses the method for evaluating the second typical pregnable area (t0/2<T'0 <t0); subsection 4.3 discusses the method for evaluating the third typical pregnable area (T'0≥t0). Finally, the KKV's pregnable area simulation is carried out. The simulation results, presented in Figs. 5, 6 and 7, prove preliminarily the accuracy of the new and effective evaluation method.
