Electro Explosive Devices can be susceptible to electromagnetic interference. When these components are exposed to external electromagnetic fields, it may cause to induce sufficient current to generate enough heat for an inadvertent detonation. It is almost impossible to monitor the event of firing throughout the electromagnetic environment test. The survivability of EED for hazards of electromagnetic radiation is investigated. A fiber optic sensor is installed near the bridge wire after removing explosive material in order to measure the induced current on the bridge wire. The length of lead-wire of the EED fabricated is around 15 cm.

In order to measure the temperature of bridge wire, the explosive material is removed from EED and a fiber optic temperature sensor is installed near the bridge wire. Using the heat transfer theory, the optimum position of the fiber optic sensor in the EED is determined and the temperature-distance equation is derived from test result. The measuring technique can be utilized to the real electromagnetic radiation hazard test.

In this study, the effect of $\alpha$-phase morphology on the dynamic deformation behavior at ultra high strain rate was investigated by EBW(Explosive Bridge Wire) test. All of tests and analyses were conducted on three typical microstructures of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, i.e. equiaxed, widmanstatten and bimodal microstructures. The spall strength and HEL(Hugoniot Elastic Limit) of the specimens that have the thickness of 2mm and 4mm were highest with the bimodal microstructure. These results were similar with previous study which was performed by dynamic torsion test(Kolsky torsion test).

This report presents the test technique using optic thermal sensor for the HERO evaluation of equipment installed EED. The calibration method of EED-thermal sensor assembly is explained by relation between the current in bridge wire and voltage in thermal sensor. And the HERO test and evaluation method is indicated based on MIL-STD-464A and MIL-STD-331C. The safety and reliability levels of EED-thermal sensor assembly are evaluated when exposed in the electromagnetic environment.
