An analytical model was developed to understand the physics and predict the functional performance of a pin puller. The formulated model is based on one-dimensional gas dynamics for an ideal gas. Resistive forces against pin shaft movement were measured in quasi-static mechanical tests, the results of which were incorporated into the model. The expansion chamber pressure and the pin shaft displacement were measured from an actual firing test and compared to the model prediction. The gas generation rate was adjusted by a correction factor, and the heat transfer rate was obtained through parametric analysis. The validity of the model is assessed for additional firing tests with different amounts of pyrotechnic charge. This model can provide knowledge on how the pin puller functions, and on which design parameters contribute the most to the actuation of the pin puller. Using this model, we estimate the functional safety factor by comparing the energy generated by the pyrotechnic charge to the energy required to accomplish the function.

This paper describes about the circuit design and test of the electronic Arm Fire Device. Electronic arm fire device consists of igniter, circuit and housing case and it operates without the actuator such as torque motor or solenoid. A high-voltage DC-DC converter was used to generate the voltage for initiating the LEEFI(Low Energy Exploding Foil Initiator). The MEMS switch was used to detect the acceleration that occurs when missile is launched, and the circuit was designed considering the size, performance, and specification of the electronic devices. The performance test was conducted to verify the designed circuit and we confirmed that it operates well.

파이로 작동기구(PAD)는 고에너지 재료를 원격으로 폭발시켜 기구를 작동시키는 부품으로서 지금까지 이에 대한 설계는 주로 경험에 의해 이뤄졌다. 본 연구에서는 PAD의 작동 메커니즘을 해석적으로 모델링하는 효과적 방법을 개발하고 이를 설계에 활용하고자 한다. 해석모델은 서로 다른 해석특성을 가지는 세가지 순차적 스텝으로 구성되며 이들을 연계하여 통합 해석을 수행한다. 첫째 스텝은 작동기에서의 폭발 및 이로 인한 생성된 압력거동 해석, 둘째는 이러한 압력에 의해 피스톤을 작은 구멍 속으로 밀어넣는 압착거동 해석, 셋째는 피스톤 끝단에 있는 커터에 의해 박막을 관통하는 해석이며, 이로 인해 최종적으로 박막이 절개되면서 소기의 임무를 완성하게 된다. 본 발표에서는 이에 대한 개략적 소개와 일부 진행된 선행연구 결과를 소개한다.
