Research on Separation Reliability and Shock Response of a Non-Fracture Super-Zip Separation Device

Abstract:

The separation reliability and shock response of a state-of-the-art non-fracture Super-Zip separation device have been analyzed. The simulated results showed that the minimum peak value of the internal pressure for separating of the non-fracture Super-Zip separation device was quarter of the conventional Super-Zip separation device. At the same time, on account of the non-fracture separation mode, the structure near the state-of-the-art non-fracture Super-Zip separation device had lower impact acceleration responses comparing with the conventional Super-Zip separation device.
