Anomalous Behavior of a Solid Rocket Motor Nozzle Insert During Static Firing Test

open access: yesJournal of Aerospace Technology and Management, 2016
This paper presents the study and development of a firing test used to evaluate the behavior of a solid rocket motor. The motivation for the development of a subscale solid rocket motor with end burning propellant grain geometry arose from the need to ...

Experimental study on the porosity of HTPB propellant: characterization of damage evolution

open access: yesJournal of Materials Research and Technology
To characterize the damage evolution mechanism of HTPB composite solid propellant, the porosity as well as the sphericity will be analyzed using micro-CT. Under normal temperature and pressure, the damage mechanisms include voids, ''dewetting'' damage at

Chemically Collapsible Mandrel for Solid Rocket Motor Processing

open access: yesJournal of Aerospace Technology and Management, 2015
Composite propellant mainly consists of two parts, binder matrix (prepolymer, plasticizer, cross linker, antioxidant and curative etc.) and solid ingredients (oxidizer, metal fuel, burn rate modifier, combustion stabilizer etc.).

Improving the Mechanical Properties of Composite Rocket Propellants

open access: yes, 2004
Solid composite rocket propellants usually contain ammoniumperchlorate embedded in an elastic polymer binder. The bindercan be based on a liquid prepolymer such as hydroxyl-terminatedpolybutadiene, HTPB, or poly(3-nitratomethyl-3-methyl oxetane,PolyNIMMO.
