Abstract

An explosive bolt is one of many representative pyrotechnic release devices that separates two joined structures using explosives inside the bolt. In this study, a 1/2 inch ridge-cut explosive bolt with an EBW detonator was developed for usage in sled tests. The initial shape design was carried out based on the design method, and the performance test showed that the separation performance was outstanding but fragments occurred. Therefore, numerical analysis was performed to reduce the amount of debris by minimizing the amount of explosives. From the numerical analysis, the separation mechanism and characteristics of the ridge-cut explosive bolts were identified, and the minimum amount of explosives that does not generate debris was proposed. Verification tests revealed that the ridge-cut explosive bolts with the proposed explosive weight minimized fragments while maintaining the separation performance.

폭발볼트는 내부 화약의 폭발력에 의해 결합되어진 두 개의 구조물을 분리하는 대표적인 파이로 분리장치이다. 본 연구에서는 슬레드 시험에 사용이 가능하도록 EBW 기폭관을 적용한 1/2" 리치컷형 폭발볼트를 개발하였다. 설계 방법론으로부터 초기 형상 설계를 수행하였으며, 성능 시험을 통해 분리 성능은 우수하나 파편이 발생함을 확인하였다. 이에 전산수치해석을 통해 화약량을 최소화하여 파편 발생을 줄이고자 하였다. 전산수치해석으로부터 리치컷형 폭발볼트의 분리 메커니즘과 특성을 확인하였으며, 파편을 발생시키지 않는 최소 화약량을 제시하였다. 검증 시험을 통해 제시된 화약량을 적용하면 분리 성능을 유지하면서 파편이 감소되는 것을 확인하였다.
