Title: Effect of thermal aging on the output of a pyrotechnic actuator

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6787622

A thermal aging program with a shock-initiated through-bulkhead actuator (TBA) indicates an enhancement of energy output with age and storage temperature. The TBA and output experiments are described and a possible mechanism that accounts for this phenomenon is presented.
