Designing a Drop-In Replacement for the Mark 21 Fuse: Exploring Endo Atmospheric Air Blast Environments

🔥Sandia National Labs is collaborating with airports to redesign the Mark 21 fuse as a drop-in replacement.

💣The goal is to simulate an endo atmospheric air blast environment to test the new fuse.

🚀The Mark 21 fuse contains pressure gauges, accelerometers, and strain gauges for accurate measurements.

📊Post-tests will compare the predictions from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and structural dynamics modeling with the actual test results.

🔬The tests will analyze the performance of the new fuse design and validate its effectiveness.
