Numerical Study on the Explosive Separation of Pyrotechnic Cutter

Pyrotechnic cutters are widely used in the wrapping-band connecting structures of carrier rockets. In this article, a three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of a pyrotechnic cutter is proposed to determine the influence of the explosive dynamic fracture process and the cutter blade acceleration...
