Specification and Simulation of Pyrotechnic Environments 740805
This paper has been developed to present a brief summary of those practices which have evolved for specifying and performing tests to determine the functional and structural integrity of aerospace components subjected to pyrotechnic shock.
The shock specifications and test methods presented in the paper represent a broad view of industry practices. This paper could serve as a baseline for comparison with other methods that do exist, and could prove to be a reference point for further advancement of the field.
