Abstract

During the launch of a rocket or missile, certain segments must separate from the main body, and the reliability of this separation can affect the final success of the mission. Most reports on the analysis of the specific separation structures employ specific finite element software programs; moreover, although most studies on reliability focus on the simple dynamics of the segments, few consider the separation dynamics in the distribution reliability analysis. Thus, a generalized variable topological dynamics-based aerospace separation reliability analysis method is proposed in this paper. With the exception of a few basic constraints imposed by external forces, a few internal forces in the separation structure derived from the spring oscillator assumption were also included as variable topological constraints. As the craft separated, the variable topological structure constraints changed according to the transfer conditions. The separation reliability criterion was established after modeling the separation dynamics and used to derive the reliability model and the distribution hypothesis test to estimate the separation reliability. Finally, the Monte Carlo separation simulation was conducted to verify the reliability analysis method. The results indicate that the method can effectively estimate the different phases of the separation process and verify the separation reliability of the aerospace vehicle.
