To achieve engineering application of pulse motor as soon as possible,designed a soft pulse separation device(PSD), numerical simulated its process of bearing pressure and turning on,used the XFEM to simulate its failure form,got strain and stress distribution,found the bearing capability and failure form of the structure of soft PSD was reliable;Designed a few of verification monomial tests,verified the accuracy of simulation,proved that its bearing capability and failure form satisfied with design requirements,could be applied to pulse motor.The simulation technique,test method and conclusion are useful for designing pulse solid rocket motor configuration.

The theories of circular plates with large deflection and fracture mechanics were employed to investigate the calculating formula of stress intensity factor on prefab gap. The relationship of the opening pressure with physical dimensions of hard pulse separation device (PSD) was analyzed to achieve the feasible configuration of metal diaphragm, which could play a very important role in dual-pulse solid rocket motor. Moreover, six specific single-term tests of the metal diaphragm were conducted to validate the computing precision of designing formula. In addition, three kinds of scale experiments, e.g. the bearing test, opening test, and associated test were performed to explore the working characters of hard pulse separation device. The results indicate that the error between the experimental results and designing results is 4.4%, and the method can be applied to design the physical dimensions of metal diaphragm. The performances of bearing ability, sealability, opening and melt of PSD have been demonstrated. The results show that this kind of PSD can satisfy the requirements of dual-pulse solid rocket motor very well.
