A MEMS-based solid propellant microthruster array for space and military applications [PDF]
Since combustion is an easy way to achieve large quantities of energy from a small volume, we developed a MEMS based solid propellant microthruster array for small spacecraft and micro-air-vehicle applications.

The effect of strain rate on compressive behavior and failure mechanism of CMDB propellant
The compressive mechanical behavior of composite modified double base (CMDB) propellant was investigated across a wide scope of strain rates ranging from 10−3 s−1 to 4210 s−1 at room temperature, by applying a conventional universal testing machine and a

Simulation of gelled propellant doughs isothermal flow through extrusion dies using finite difference method [PDF]
During the ram extrusion of gelled propellants, the possible flow instabilities can affect the extruded propellant quality. The numerical modelling helps to enhance the geometry of extrusion die, by minimizing the product distortion caused by material ...

Microstructural simulations of debonding, nucleation, and crack propagation in an HMX-MDB propellant
The modeling of the deformation and failure process of a cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine modified double-base (HMX-MDB) propellant based on the microstructure is of great importance for its manufacturing process and storage lifetime.

Novel approach to quantify the chemical stability and shelf life of modified double-base propellants
Double-base (DB) propellant is vulnerable to auto-catalytic decomposition reactions during storing with the evolution of nitrogen oxides. Modified DB propellant based on energetic nitramines (RDX) can offer enhanced thrust and action time.

Numerical analysis of transient combustion response to acoustic oscillations in axisymmetric rocket motors [PDF]
A numerical analysis of unsteady motions in solid rocket motors with a nozzle has been conducted. The formulation treats the complete conservation equations for the gas phase and the one-dimensional equations in the radial direction for the condensed

Transient combustion responses of homogeneous propellants to acoustic oscillations in axisymmetric rocket motors [PDF]
A numerical analysis of unsteady motions in solid rocket motors has been conducted. The formulation considers a 2-D axisymmetric combustion chamber and a choke nozzle, and treats the complete conservation equations accounting for turbulence closure ...
