Controlled release device prevents damage from dynamic stresses
Controlled release device that retards motion by extruding or drawing a tapered ductile pin through a die will control launch vehicle motion at liftoff. The device prevents the damaging dynamic stresses that are imposed on the vehicle when it is instantaneously released at full thrust.
