Experimental Study on Velocity of Flyer Based on Silicon

Abstract

This paper researches the characteristic to the flyer velocity of silicon flyer. The material of flyer is different in comparison to polyimide which is considerde to conditional flyer. It is found that the movement trendency is clearly different of velocity between silicon flyer and polymide flyer, which is resulted by modality change. The silicon flyer velocity decreases gradually with the increase of flyer thickness. The inclusion is also applicable for polyimide flyer. It is clearly that the fatal influence parameter is silicon flyer thickness for slapper detonator based on MEMS fabrication process, which determined the success of explosion.
