Abstract:

In order to solve the related technical problems of one rocket's stage separation and get the best design scheme of the separation, a new experimental method has been adopted, which is that the experiment of strength check and stage separation for the rocket's stage section is conducted by a blast simulator. The experiment system, experiment specimen, experiment procedures and experiment results are discussed in detail. The unsteady characteristic of the pressure in the stage section is presented and the load-bearing capacity of the stage section is qualified, meanwhile the stage separation pressure and the separation displacement of the section are obtained. Theoretical analyses for the experiment results are carried out and the comparisons with results of traditional rocket engine ground experiment (named as "three-in-one experiment") are made. Studies show that using the blast simulator to carry out the experiments of the strength qualification and stage separation for the rocket's stage section is reasonable in theory, and the experiment results have a good agreement with those of "three-in-one experiment" tally; for the similar experiment, a new, short period, low cost and good repeatability experiment method is presented.
