Abstract

Explosive bolt is coupled in a variety of guided weapons and space projectiles, to perform the separation function. Thus, the role of the explosive bolt in guided weapons systems is very important, as it can cause failure of the entire system in the case of mission failure. For this reason, the design life prediction for explosive bolt is highly and frequently required recently, but its accurate prediction method has not been presented. In order to apply the existing accelerated aging process, we should know the activation energy and the acceleration factor of the explosive bolt. Since the information required for accelerated aging is not presently secured, it is difficult to predict the design life of explosive. Thus, in the present study, we have evaluated the performance of actual explosive bolts in the condition of natural aging over 10 years in order to present a minimum design life.

폭발볼트는 각종 유도무기 및 우주발사체에서 결합 및 분리기능을 수행한다. 이처럼 유도무기 체계에서 폭발볼트의 역할은 매우 중요하며, 임무 실패시 체계 전체 실패의 원인이 될 수 있다. 이와 같은 이유로 폭발볼트의 설계 수명 예측에 대한 요구가 최근에 지속적으로 발생하였지만, 신뢰도 높은 예측방법이 제시되지 못하고 있다. 기존의 가속노화 방법을 적용하기 위해선 폭발볼트의 활성화 에너지와 가속계수를 알고 있어야 한다. 현재 가속노화에 필요한 정보를 정확히 확보하지 못한 상황에서 폭발볼트의 설계 수명을 예측하는 것은 어렵기 때문에 본 연구에서는 실제 10년 이상 자연 노화된 폭발볼트를 이용해 성능을 평가하고, 이를 바탕으로 최소한의 설계 수명을 제시하였다.
