| description | To investigate the energy transfer mechanisms during the micro-explosive initiator-driven flyer process and to guide the performance evaluation of micro-sized charges and the structural design of micro-initiators, a combined approach of numerical simulations and experimental tests was employed to study the detonation process of copper-based azide micro-charges driving a flyer. The output pressure and detonation velocity of the copper-based azide micro-charge were measured using the manganese–copper piezoresistive method and electrical probe technique, and the corresponding JWL equation of the state parameters was subsequently fitted. A simulation model for the micro-charge-driven flyer was established and validated using Photonic Doppler Velocimetry (PDV), and the influence of charge conditions, structural parameters, and other factors on the flyer velocity and morphology was investigated. The results indicate that the flyer velocity decreases as its thickness increases, whereas the specific kinetic energy of the flyer initially increases and then decreases with increasing thickness. The optimal flyer thickness was found to be in the range of 30 to 70 μm. The flyer velocity increases with the density and height of the micro-charge; however, when the micro-charge density exceeds a certain threshold, the flyer velocity decreases. The flyer velocity exhibits an exponential decline as the diameter of the acceleration chamber increases, whereas it shows a slight increase with the increase in the length of the acceleration chamber. The diameter of the acceleration chamber should not exceed the charge diameter and must be no smaller than the critical diameter required for detonation initiation of the underlying charge. The use of a multi-layer accelerating chamber structure leads to a slight reduction in flyer velocity and further increases in the transmission hole diameter while having no significant impact on the flyer velocity. |
