Abstract
Thrust cut off(TCO) system is installed at the port of a rocket motor case forward dome. The snap ring and the closure are escaped sequentially by pulling out a wedge under internal pressure. The hydraulic structural tests of TCO and numerical simulations were performed, and both results were compared to understand the deformation behavior of TCO. By increasing splines symmetrically, the sealing capacity of TCO can be improved significantly. The escape pressure of TCO increases according to the increase of friction coefficient and there is a critical friction coefficient beyond which the snap ring can not be nearly escaped even after forced escape of wedge. Under low friction coefficient the snap ring is contracted to radial direction and easily escaped. But, under high friction coefficient, the snap ring can not be escaped from the port even after severe plastic deformation.
