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.

The external fuel tank of an aircraft is a main component that can increase the cruising range of the aircraft. It must be able to be stably separated from the pylon in an emergency situation. At this time, a separation load is applied to the fin and the pivot of the external fuel tank. To stably separate the external fuel tank, the structural soundness of the fin and the pivot must be confirmed. In this study, structural tests were conducted to verify the structural integrity of the external fuel tank pin and pivot when the external fuel tank was separated from the aircraft. Results are then presented. In this paper, a test configuration diagram consisting of the hydraulic and load control equipment, data acquisition system, and pneumatic supply unit used in the structural test was explained. Test installation and test load application plan for each test condition were provided. As results of the structural test, it was found that test load and internal pressure of the test specimen were properly controlled within the allowable range in each test. It was confirmed that serious structural defects in the test specimen did not occur under required load conditions. In conclusion, through structural test for design limit load and design ultimate load, it was proven that the fin and pivot of the external fuel tank for aircraft covered in this study had sufficient structural strength.

The shotcrete is a NATM technique as a major tunnel support for ground stability after tunnel excavation. Instead of a general concrete lining method, it is a trend for curtail of construction periods and reduction of construction expenses that required to use of the permanent shotcrete lining. This high-strength shotcrete is required to use as a permanent shotcrete lining. This brought out the solution of environmental pollution and harmfulness to human. Accordingly, in this study specimens for strength measurement were made to develop shotcrete possible to develop materials in early with cement mineral accelerator as NATM method construction. It was compared with existing shotcrete material, unconfined compression test, flexural strength test, antiwashout underwater test were experimented. The fish poison test was experimented to evaluate an influence of environment. As a results of the test, unconfined compressive strength and flexural strength were equivalent with 28-curing day strength of existing material. An antiwashout of research subject material was revealed excellently in antiwashout Underwater test. As a results of the fish poison, an evaluation research subject material was founded more environmentally friendly than existing shotcrete.

In this study, a study on the performance and aging of explosive bolts stored for a long time among pyrotechnic mechanical devices(PMD) used as separation devices in the defense field is conducted. For this, explosive bolts that had been installed in the weapon system for about 10 years are secured. Performance and life extension test procedures are established based on the AIAA Standard and MIL-STD. Before performance evaluation, non-functional tests are performed to check whether external changes or failures occurred. Next, circuit inspection and X-ray tests are conducted to check the failure in internal circuits and structures. After that, performance test is carried out to confirm the operation of the samples that passed the non-functional test. Through this test, separation of bolt and separation time are measured, and some samples are tested after a high temperature storage test to confirm the remaining life and the possibility of extension. Finally, the remaining life and reliability are predicted based on the results of the test and the Arrhenius model to identify remaining shelf life and reliability depend on time.

This paper describes the development of non-explosive separation(NES) device which can be equipped on a small satellite. It comprises mechanism itself and spring-type shape memory alloy(SMA) actuator. In order to design SMA actuator properly, the necessary actuation force is measured. Based on that result, SMA actuator is designed and fabricated. Finally, SMA actuator and the proposed mechanism are integrated. In order to evaluate performance of the developed NES, we carried out a response time test, preload test and shock level test. In near future, we expect to replace the imported NES device with the developed device.

A bulkhead-type pulse separation device has been developed for the multi-pulse rocket motor. The design parameters of the pulse separation device were the shape of the rupture disc slit, welding conditions, and the implementation of the seal disc. The pneumatic tests of the fabricated pulse separation devices showed that the rupture pressure increased as the quantity of the rupture disc slit and welding strength increased and the seal disc was implemented.

Dow99Ca350 (Dowex monosphere 99Ca/350 separation resin), MFG-220, and Finex CS-10GC are ion-exchange resins, and primarily used to separate sugars, and all of these resins have poly styrene DVB backbone, and sulfonyl group. These resins are already used to separate sugars continuously at sugar industry at constant temperature. These resins are used in experiments for understanding temperature effect on retention or adsorption behavior. Using Dow99Ca350, swelling test, porosity test, pulse test, and frontal analysis at various temperatures were performed. In the cases of MFG-220, and Finex CS-10GC, the effect of temperature variation was verified by pulse test. The experimental results are shown that Dow99Ca350, MFG-220, and Finex CS-10GC, which are commercial resins for sugar separation, are stable to temperature variation because the maximum change of retention time of fructose, and glucose are 1.76, and 3.37％ respectively.
