Abstract:

The thermal protection technology and equivalent testing technology are the key to improving the safety of fuzes during fast cook-off and the iterative efficiency of multiple rounds of optimization design of thermal protection.According to the one-dimensional fuze heat conduction model,the theoretical equations for the radial temperature distributions of explosive and fuze shell are constructed.An aluminum-silicon aerogel thermal protection model is established for aerial bomb fuze.The simulation study on the fast cook-off of fuze is carried out to obtain the temperature change curve of the explosive inside the fuze undergoing a 20-minute heating environment at 800℃.The critical thickness of thermal protection material is 3 mm,and the final temperature of explosive is 87.8℃ lower than its 5 s explosion temperature (280℃),which can ensure the thermal safety of fuze.Taking the fuze coated with aluminum-silicon aerogel as the verification subject,an equivalent test method for the fast cook-off of fuze is established based on simulation analysis and high-temperature flame injection test platformm,which is combined with the standard fast cook-off test method.Test results show that when comparing the temperature measurement data of fuze vulnerable points in standard tests with simulation data,the accuracy of the standard test results exceeds 91%.When comparing the measured temperature of fuze vulnerable points in equivalent tests with the measurement results of standard tests,the accuracy of the equivalent test results exceeds 95%.
