  • The experiment for the sympathetic detonation (Sudo et al., 1951) (Fukuyama et al., 1958) in water was conducted. Composition B (RDX: 64%, TNT: 36%, Detonation velocity: 7900m/s) was used for both donor (the thickness was 50mm, and the diameter was 31mm) and receptor charges. The distance between the donor and the receptor, and the thickness (5, 7.5, 10mm) of the receptor were varied in the experiments. In order to investigate the basic characteristics of the underwater sympathetic detonation of high explosive, the sympathetic detonation phenomena were visualized by a high-speed camera (HADLAND PHOTONICS, IMACON790) in forms of streak and framing photographs. The 200ns/mm streak velocity was 2㎲. Manganin gauges (KYOWA Electronic INSTRUMENTS CO. SKF-21725) were used for the pressure measurements. The gauges were set under the receptor. The pressures during the complete and incomplete explosions were measured.

  • Sympathetic detonation (SD) of high explosives occurs when a detonating donor initiates neighboring acceptors. The present study focuses on the hydrodynamic simulation of one-on-one sympathetic detonation of 155 mm charge filled with PBXN-109. Both unbuffered and buffered SD configurations are performed while changing the distance between each charge, in order to investigate the detonation sensitivity to a donor initiation. The cause of a SD is by a shock impact for the unbuffered case at a close range, while at a distant range, blast fragment penetration is the primary cause. The buffers can reduce the incident sensitivity to a SD by reducing the strengths of shock wave and impinging fragments.

  • In order to minimize the impact on the structure during an internal explosion, the explosives storage must be kept at a distance from the inner wall to prevent the sympathetic detonation of the others explosives in an unexpected explosion. For safe explosives storage, a gap test was conducted by simulating the split arrangement of explosives inside the storage. In this study, the separation distance and arrangement between the emulsion explosives were applied differently to be sympathetic detonation at 2D of diameter and non-detonated at 2.5D. Considering the coefficient of detonation transmission and the size of the explosives storage, the explosive amount of 3kg was set, and most of the gap tests according to various arrangement changes were non-detonated, and safety was confirmed when applying the batch.

  • To review the appropriateness of current regulations on the simple explosive storage facility, the effects of internal explosion on the structural stability of the standard storage facility were analyzed by means of both FEM analyses and field experiments. As a result, it was found that the explosion-proof performance of the existing storage structure was not sufficient for 15 kg of emulsion-type explosive. Thus, an alternative method of splitting explosives was tested by conducting sympathetic detonation experiments. This method worked properly as expected, and the proper amount of splitted explosive was determined according to the test results. In addition, a storage structure with open ceiling was found to be very effective because explosion pressure was released so rapidly that the damage of the facility could be reduced significantly. Hence, such a structural pattern was proposed as a new design scheme for simple explosive storage facility.

  • 실전 배치되어 운용 중인 무기체계는 여러 형태의 사고 위험이 항상 존재한다 이중에서도 특히 항공기나 함정에서 발생하는 사고는 그 피해가 막대하게 커질 수도 있어 항공기나 함정 자체에 위협을 줄 수도 있다. 이러한 사고위험으로부터 인적, 물적 자원을 보호하기 위하여 둔감탄약(Insensitive Munitions)에 대한 인식이 높아지고 있으며, 아울러 이러한 무기 체계를 효과적으로 시험 평가하는 규격들이 검토되기 시작하여 1991년에 "Hazards Assesment Tests for Non-Nuclear Ordnance, DoD-STD-2105"를 기초로 한 MIL-STD-2105B가 채택되었다. 본 논문에서는 MIL-STD-2105B의 해석과 그에 따른 둔감탄약 시험에 포함되는 Bullet Impact Test, Fast Cookoff Test, Slow Cookoff Test, Fragment Impact Test, Sympathetic Detonation Test 등의 시험들의 세부적인 시험방법과 그 결과에 대한 판정 기준을 서술하였다. 또한 유도무기의 추진기관을 모델로 하여 둔감탄약 시험의 기준을 제시하였고 이 시험을 통과하기 위하여 향후 연구, 개발하여야 할 분야를 서술하였다.

  • Mountain and hill areas occupy by more than 70% in South Korea and Rock drilling should be applied in order to reduce noisy & vibration from massive civil engineering business such as road expansion, high-way construction, subway construction and construction of site renovation such as a newly-built & re-development of apartment, newly-built of high-rising building in downtown area. As Blasting noise & vibration such as vibration, noise, fly rock etc caused by blasting operation from large small scale construction occurs, neighboring residents who demand the compensation file a civil complaint so that the business reach a deadlock. As the excavation method for these areas, There are blasting of micro-vibration, mechanical excavation method(Rock splitter, Breaker etc), similar blasting method(plasma, gel fragmentation etc) to date. In this study, we are trying to find the feature & performance which get improved economic feasibility & construct ability through improving sympathetic detonation of New KINECKER-I used in blasting of micro-vibration & formulation and would provide convenience for use by introducing standard blasting pattern & construction method. Also, checked and confirmed all the blasting with connecting cap has been cleary detonated.

  • The objective of IM rocket motor is to minimize the probability of inadvertent initiation and severity of subsequent collateral damage, hence it is important to define personnel and equipment survivability to a rocket motor accident. The violent response probability associated with shock, impact and thermal effects be minimized. And during production, transportation/storage and stack of rocket motor, sympathetic detonation, giving severe effects of the propagation of adverse reaction on its surroundings, be reduced. Hence Reaction type also based on reaction results of the overpressure, fragment throw and heat flux.
