Explosive bolts are one of pyrotechnic release devices, which are highly reliable and efficient for a built-in release. Among them, ridge-cut explosive bolts which utilize shock wave generated by detonation to separate bolt body produce minimal fragments, little swelling and clean breaks. In this study, separation phenomena of ridge-cut explosive bolts or ridge-cut mechanism are computationally analyzed using Hydrocodes. To analyze separation mechanism of ridge-cut explosive bolts, fluid-structure interactions with complex material modeling are essential. For modeling of high explosives (RDX and PETN), Euler elements with Jones-Wilkins-Lee E.O.S. are utilized. For Lagrange elements of bolt body structures, shock E.O.S., Johnson-Cook strength model, and principal stress failure criteria are used. From the computational analysis of the author's explosive bolt model, computational analysis framework is verified and perfected with tuned failure criteria. Practical design improvements are also suggested based on a parametric study. Some design parameters, such as explosive weights, ridge angle, and ridge position, are chosen that might affect the separation reliability; and analysis is carried out for several designs. The results of this study provide useful information to avoid unnecessary separation experiments related with design parameters.

This study presents a macro-modeling procedure for nonlinear finite element analysis of reinforced and prestressed concrete panels under blast loading. The analysis procedure treats cracked concrete as an orthotropic material based on a smeared rotating crack model within the context of total-load secant stiffness-based formulation. A direct time integration method compatible with the analysis formulation is adapted to solve the dynamic equation of motion. Considerations are made to account for strain rate effects. The analysis procedure is verified by modeling 14 blast tests from various sources reported in the literature including a blast simulation contest. The analysis results are compared against those obtained from experiments, simplified single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) methods, and sophisticated hydrocodes. It is demonstrated that the smeared crack macro-modeling approach is a viable alternative analysis procedure that gives more information about the structural behavior than SDOF methods, but does not require detailed micro-modeling and extensive material characterization typically needed with hydrocodes.

Hydrocodes are large computer programs that can be used to solve a wide variety of highly transient problems such as high-speed impact and explosion events. This paper describes the recent activity to develop a Multi-material hydrocode in Korea. The code consists of two stages; Lagrangian, and remap stages. Although a sophisticated contact algorithm has been developed for Lagrangian calculations, a relatively simple mechanics at the interfaces of materials are used in the multi-material Eulerian code. Volume of fluid interface reconstruction methods are used to resolve the interfaces between different materials. For the advection stage of the cell centered properties, one-dimensional hyperbolic equation is used. Test problems demonstrated here are the high-speed impact/penetration and explosion problems.

The characteristics of constitutive equations, for hydrocodes, were Investigated by the comparison between the smoothed particle hydrodynamcis simulation and the experiment of rod impact test which resulted in a deformation history of impacting front where high strain and high strain rate dominate. The constitutive equations used in the simulation Is J-C(Johnson-Cook) model, Z-A(Zerilli-Armstrong) model, and S-C-G(Steinberg-Cochran-Guinan) model. The modification of Z-A model, based on the increased effect of strain-rate hardening, showed better correlation with expriment.

This paper describes the development of SPH(Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics) scheme and integration into the multi-material shock physics code(ExLO) for the purpose of the application to the extreme large deformation problems. SPH numerical scheme has been extended into the fluid dynamics and the high-speed impact events, such as space structure protection against space debris and meteorite catering. Like other hydrocodes, SPH scheme also solves the conservation equations with the constitutive equation including equation of state. The benchmark problem, Taylor-Impact test, was simulated and the predictions show good agreements with both the published numerical data and experimental data. Currently, the contact treatment between materials is under development.

This study describes computational simulation results in 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional space concerning large scale gap test(LSGT) by using commercial hydrocode such as AUTODYN and LS-DYNA to analyze the detonation phenomenons of high explosives. To consider the possibilities of LSGT simulation, we used Lee - Tarver reaction rate model of PBX-9404 and Comp-B which were implemented AUTODYN's material library. Also we have tried the diverse numerical schemes such as Lagrangian, Eulerian and ALE(Arbitary Lagrangian Eulerian), SPH(Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) in LSGT simulations. After LSGT simulations, we compared the simulation results with published results to verify the LSGT simulations. According to the LSGT simulations, we have concluded as follows. In 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional space, Lagrangian solver provided the most reliable results based on analysis time and accuracy. When using two hydrocodes in 2-dimensional space, the simulation results are almost same except one explosive model. We have verified the modeling method and simulation results of the LSGT by using the commenrcial hydrocode in this study.

본 연구에서는 MDF(Mild-detonating Fuse)를 이용한 선형분리장치 개발 가능성을 확인하기 위해 기초 연구를 수행하였다. 지름이 작은 금속(납) 튜브 내부에 화약(RDX)이 충전되어 있는 MDF를 활용한 알루미늄 평판 절개 기초 시험을 수행하였다. 평판의 두께와 MDF의 단위 길이당 화약량을 조절해가며 시험을 수행하였으며, 평판 두께와 화약량에 따른 절개 여부를 확인하였다. 시험 결과를 바탕으로 AUTODYN 기반의 수치 해석 모델을 개발하였으며, 정확한 파괴 조건을 결정하였다. 시험 및 해석 결과 분석을 통해 MDF의 알루미늄 평판 절개 메커니즘과 특성을 확인하였으며, 체계 적용 가능성을 확인하였다. 개발된 해석 기법을 활용하면 다양한 MDF 및 구조물에 대한 절개 가능 여부를 미리 확인하여 개발 과정에서의 시험 비용을 최소화 할 수 있다.

일반적으로 구조물에 폭발, 충돌, 지진과 바람 등과 같이 짧은 시간에 큰 하중이 작용하게 되면 구조물은 국부적으로 재료의 대변형(large deformation), 대회전(large rotation), 대변형률(large strain)등이 발생하게 된다. 이와 같은 현상을 해석하려면 전산연속체 역학에 기초하여 유체-구조물 상호작용 등을 고려할 수 있는 하이드로코드(Hydrocode)의 도움이 필요하다. 또한, 폭발로 인해 발생되는 순간 동역학적인 폭발 메커니즘은 매우 복잡하기 때문에 폭발실험을 병행하여 거동을 예측하는 것이 합리적인 방법이지만 막대한 비용과 시설이 요구되므로 한계가 있는 것도 사실이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 하이드로코드인 AUTODYN을 사용하여 폭발해석한 결과를 기수행된 철근콘크리트 슬래브의 폭발실험 결과와 비교하여 폭발해석 방법의 타당성을 검토하였고, 동일한 폭발해석 모형에 대하여 철근 배근간격, 피복두께의 변화 및 수직철근 유무에 따른 폭발 손상도를 비교검토하였다. 검토한 결과, 철근의 배근간격에 대한 철근콘크리트 슬래브 두께의 비가 커질수록, 지름이 큰 철근보다 지름이 작은 철근을 많이 사용할수록, 마지막으로 수직철근을 배근할수록 콘크리트 구조물의 내폭성능이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.
