    摘要: An apparatus for conducting a small-scale shock reactivity and internal blast test (SSBT), and a related test method that simulates a large scale test of explosive materials while employing small quantities of materials for the characterization. The apparatus includes a small scale shock reactivity test (SSRT) device, and an internal blast test device including a pressure chamber with an accessible interior, a pressure transducer, a multipurpose port provides an electrical connection to the shock reactivity test device, and a small gas port. The SSRT device is housed within the pressure chamber, and gases and materials produced during a small scale shock reactivity test are quasi-statically retained by the pressure chamber. The pressure transducer is in communication with an instrument that can display the pressure detected in the pressure chamber for analysis.

    摘要: A warhead fuse mechanism is used to prevent an accidental explosive event of a warhead by separating the booster lead into a plurality of booster lead segments, with each of the individual booster lead segments having a diameter less than the failure diameter of the booster lead explosive. A separating device separates the booster lead segments from each other to maintain the failure diameter until detonation is desired.

    摘要: Molten droplets of a metal fuel, such as aluminum, are dispersed into air or water for a reaction releasing energy for military or other purposes. In one warhead embodiment, a cylinder of solid metal is disposed within a ceramic heat insulator; heaters of thermite-like material are embedded in the metal; and an explosive dispersing charge is disposed around or at one end of the cylinder. On activation, the heaters are ignited to melt the metal, and the charge then detonated to disperse droplets of the molten metal. In a related embodiment, the metal and heaters are within a containment having an atomizing nozzle at one end and, oppositely of the metal from the nozzle, a piston and gas generator. When the metal is melted, the gas generator is activated to expel molten metal droplets from the nozzle. The fuel may be pressed particles heated below the melting point and then dispersed by a charge providing enough heat to melt the particles; may be a single component, fuel-rich thermite compound; and may include droplet surface tension reducing additives. Advantages are that the weight and volume of a warhead do not include explosives, binders, and underwater-use oxidizers employed with fuel particles in conventional energetic materials. A warhead may thus have greater density for effective penetration; and, since the fuel is not incorporated in an explosive, dispersing charges can be removed until use, and metal fuels hazardous when incorporated in an explosive can be used.

    摘要: A universal receiver having a pneumatic safe/arm/firing mechanism is provd. The receiver comprises a receiver shell with a threaded barrel clampnut on one end and a threaded breech plug assembly on the opposite end. The breech plug assembly includes a cocking and striker piece and a pneumatically-operated sear. A separate pneumatically-operated safety bar interlocks with the cocking and striker piece to prevent inadvertent firing. A multi-port pneumatic valve is connected to sequentially operate the safety bar retractor followed by the sear retraction, thereby firing the gun.

    摘要: A friction tester for explosive material includes a cylinder with a piston disposed therein for sliding movement along the cylinder's axial dimension. The piston includes first and second opposing faces. A plate is coupled to the piston and extends away from the first face thereof along the cylinder's axial dimension. The plate includes a portion extending from the cylinder. The plate has opposing surfaces of defined surface roughness. A sample holder disposed adjacent to the cylinder holds an explosive material sample against each of the opposing surfaces of the plate at the portion thereof that extends from the cylinder. A driver coupled to the second face of the piston drives the piston in the cylinder's axial dimension such that the plate moves relative to and against each explosive material sample.
