Abstract

We studied attenuation characteristics of shock waves induced by a donor charge and the sensitivity of an acceptor for optimal design of a TBI (Through-bulkhead initiator). The attenuation behavior of shock waves was studied by measuring free surface velocity using a VISAR (Velocity Interferometer System for Any Reflector), and the sensitivity of the acceptor explosives was analyzed via SSGT (Small Scale Gap Test). It was found that the acceptor sensitivity obtained by the SSGT may be inappropriate for the design of the small-scale explosive devices such as TBI due to the different shock duration time.

격벽착화기의 최적 설계를 위하여 여폭약에 의해 생성되는 충격파의 감쇄 특성과 수폭약의 민감도에 관하여 연구하였다. 충격파의 감쇄 특성은 레이저 광간섭계인 VISAR를 이용하여 측정한 격벽의 자유 표면 속도로부터 유도하였고 수폭약의 민감도는 SSGT (Small Scale Gap Test) 결과로부터 구하였다. 격벽착화기의 기폭시험을 통하여 SSGT로부터 구한 화약의 민감도가 격벽착화기와 같이 소량의 화약을 사용하는 시스템에는 충격파 지속 시간이 상이하여 적합하지 않다는 것을 밝혀내었다.
