TEST BED TO TRY OUT PROCESS OF SEPARATION OF UNITS OF MOVING OBJECT Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering, testing equipment modeling processes of separation of spent parts of space objects. SUBSTANCE: according to invention test bed includes bed frame simulating major part of object, mock-up of spent part, units mating parts, system simulating forces acting on spent part and transmitters of linear displacement of separated parts. Bed frame and mock-up are mounted uniaxially along vertical line. Mock-up include bar that can accommodate separable discs. Bed frame has hole through which force driver contacting bar is passed. Pyrotechnic fixing aids are installed in mating units. Ropes of transmitters of linear displacement are not parallel when withdrawn. Invention makes it possible to simulate many times and more completely loads emerging with separation on mass and size mock-up and to record large relative displacement. EFFECT: more thorough study of separation processes. 1 cl, 1 dwg
