As the operating condition for the penetrating missile has been more advanced, the survivability of main charge has been strongly required when the warhead impacts the target. Lots of efforts to desensitize explosives such as the development of insensitive molecular explosives or optimizing plastic-bonded explosives(PBX) systems has been made to enhance the survivability of main charge. However, these efforts face their limits as the weapon system require higher performance. Herein, we suggest a new strategy to secure the survivability of main charge. We applied structurally supportable aluminum honeycomb(HC) structure to cast PBX. The aluminum HC structure reinforces the mechanical strength of cast PBX and helps it to withstand external pressure without the reaction like detonation. In this study, impact resistance character, shock sensitivity and internal blast performance of PBXs reinforced with HC structure were investigated according to the application of aluminum HC structure. The newly suggested aluminum HC structure applied to cast PBX was proved to be a promising manufacturing method available for high-tech weapon systems.

We recently developed a friability test procedure, which will be used as one of substance tests for Extremely Insensitive Detonating Substances(EIDSs) in Test Series 7 of the United Nations. This test was intended to assess the susceptibility of insensitive explosives to the break-up as high strain rate and subsequent ignition characteristics of the deformed material. We designed an air gun system using the hydro code simulation. The projectile velocities of the gun were in good agreement with those predicted by the hydro code with an inert material. Three different types of explosives, melt castable Comp B, castable plastic bonded explosives(PBXs), and pressable PBXs were tested during the development of the test procedure. Two tastable PBXs, i.e. DXD-09 and DXD-10, which are currently under development as candidate formulations of EIDS were classified as EIDS, since test results with these formulations were far better than the criterion of the UN Test Series 7.

폴리우레탄 계열 바인더용 Prepolymer로 많이 사용되고 있는 HTPB의 상용모델에는 Type A와 Type B 2종류의 모델이 있다. 이에 국내외에서 생산되고 있는 이 2가지 모델에 대해 이화학적 특성과 주장약 PBX-A에 적용하여 점도 및 기계적 특성 등을 연구하였다. Type A는 Hydroxy value가 낮아 주장약에는 적용하기 힘들다고 판단되어 시험에서 제외하였으며, Type B의 경우 Type B-3 대비 Type B-1, 2를 공정에 적용하기에는 불리한 기계적 특성을 보였다. 하지만 Type B-2, 3의 공정조건(당량비/경화조건)을 규격 내에서 변경 적용한다면 이상은 없을 듯하나 Type B-3와 같은 공정조건으로 적용하기 위해서는 높은 Hydroxyl Value와 Functionality의 HTPB를 적용할 필요가 있다.

To analyze a blast effect of developed explosives, three different kinds of aluminized tastable explosives and melted cast explosive TNT were used. Conventional explosive TNT was used as a reference. Each tested explosive charge of 340mm diameter spherical type was initiated at the charge center with DXD-65(${\sim}750g$) booster and RP-87 EBW detonator. Thirteen piezo type pressure sensors were located at a range from 4 to 50m away from the charge. From the blast wave profiles, we calculated a peak blast pressure and impulse of the explosion. The calculated pressures and in pulses were converted to TNT Equivalent Weight(TEW) factor by the scaling ]aw method. The average TEW factors based on the blast pressure of TX-01, TX-02, TX-03, TX-04 were 1.298, 1.05, 1.266, 1.274 and the average TEW factors based on impulse were 1.504, 1.686, 1.640, 1.679. From the results, we concluded that TEW factors based on blast pressure and based on impulse of aluminized explosives were superior to TNT. This results are owing to the high contents of aluminum in formulations.

에너지 물질의 수명평가는 중요하게 여겨지지만, 여러 가지 어려움을 갖고 있다. 먼저 노화시험에 매우 긴 시간이 소요되고, 에너지 물질이기 때문에 취급 시 항상 위험이 존재한다. 이런 이유들로 인해서 예측이나 계산 방법들이 발달되어 왔다. 에너지 물질은 열을 내놓으면서 분해되기 때문에, 에너지 물질의 열적 특성을 분석하는 것은 에너지 물질의 분해와 노화 특성을 이해하는데 매우 중요하다. 이번 연구에서는 첫째, DSC를 기초데이터로 하여 AKTS software를 이용하여 간단한 열분석으로부터 열적인 노화 특성을 예측하는 결과들을 발표하고, 둘째, AKTS software를 통해 물성측정 점 데이터로부터 적절한 kinetic 모델을 설정하고, 그 모델로부터 노화에 따른 특성변화를 예측하는 결과를 나타내었다.
