| Abstract | A frangible joint for clean spacecraft, fairing, and stage separation has been developed, qualified and flown successfully. This unique system uses a one piece aluminum extrusion driven by an expanding stainless steel tube. A simple parametric model of this system is desired to efficiently make design modifications required for possible future applications. Margin of joint severance, debris control of the system, and correlation of the model have been successfully demonstrated. To enhance the understanding of the function of the joint, a dynamic model has been developed. This model uses a controlled burn rate equation to produce a gas pressure wave in order to drive a finite element structural model. The relationship of the core load of HNS-IIA MDF as well as structural characteristics of the joint are demonstrated analytically. The data produced by the unique modeling combination is compared to margin testing data acquired during the development and qualification of the joint for the Pegasus vehicle. |
