Abstract

To improve the accuracy of simulating the pyrotechnic separation impact environment, the S-ALE numerical simulation method was employed to model the explosive effects of pyrotechnics. A high-precision numerical simulation model, based on the real pyrotechnics-response plate impact environment test device, was developed to analyze its response under blast shock loads. The reliability of the model was confirmed through comparison with real test results under identical conditions. Additionally, the propagation characteristics of pyrotechnic separation impact loads within the test device structure were investigated, along with the structural response of its components to linear pyrotechnic impact. The effects of varying the length of the linear pyrotechnic impact source and detonation point on the response characteristics were also examined. The models and methods presented have been validated as effective and can serve as a reference for designing practical experiments and predicting test outcomes.
