Oscillatory combustion of fine-AP/HTPB propellants

36th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 1998
The steady and oscillatory combustion of wide distribution AP/HTPB composite propellants containing coarse AP and fuel-rich, fine-AP/HTPB pocket regions is being investigated experimentally and theoretically. These propellants are of special interest because they are similar to many wide distribution bi-modal tailorable plateau propellants.

Flame structure of ADN/HTPB composite propellants

Combustion and Flame, 2001
Abstract Visual flame characteristics, burning rates, and final flame temperatures for propellants based on ammonium dinitramide (ADN) and hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) at different HTPB concentrations (3–20%) have been studied at pressures of 0.05 to 0.6 MPa.

Solid Propellants based on ADN and HTPB

47th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference & Exhibit, 2011
The aim of this work was to perform an initial evaluation of ammonium dinitramide, ADN, as substitute for ammonium perchlorate, AP, in solid rocket propellants for large space launch boosters. This paper includes performance evaluation, curing and compatibility assessments, propellant formulation and determination of ballistic properties.

Aluminum agglomeration of AP/HTPB composite propellant

Acta Astronautica, 2019
Abstract Aluminum (Al) powder agglomeration is one of the main reasons for the degradation in the performance of aluminized solid propellant rockets and so, understanding the combustion behavior of aluminum in solid propellants is of great importance.

Tensile fracture of HTPB based propellant specimens

Materials Science and Technology, 2002
AbstractThe failure of a viscoelastic material, such as solid propellant, is a complex phenomenon with a requirement to address the following two fundamental and complementary aspects in the failure criteria. First, what is the failure criterion for a solid propellant in stress–strain space, and what are the variations in failure data when failure is ...

Investigation of Fracture Criterion for HTPB Propellant

Advanced Materials Research, 2012
The fracture toughness of HTPB propellant has a significant rate effect. In order to establish a fracture criterion considering rate effect for HTPB propellant, experiments were conducted at different loading rates. Two kinds of specimens were used to get the fracture properties.

Infrared imaging of AP/HTPB laminate propellant flames

Combustion and Flame, 2008
Abstract The combustion of ammonium perchlorate (AP), hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) two-dimensional laminate propellants is investigated using simultaneous infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) emission imaging at 1–50 atm. The IR (3300–3900 nm) measurements sense flame presence nominally via HCl rovibrational excitation and the UV (310 nm ...

Emission imaging of AP/HTPB propellant sandwich combustion

Combustion Science and Technology, 2002
Ultraviolet emission imaging (305-315 nm) was used to study the combustion of sandwiches of ammonium perchlorate (AP) and hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) in nitrogen at pressures up to 32 atm, with binder layers from 50 to 450 µm in thickness.

Critical impact initiation energies for three HTPB propellants

26th Joint Propulsion Conference, 1990
The instrumented drop weight impact machine is one possible candidate for establishing the hazard response of solid rocket propellants to impact. The plastic work done on the propellant prior to initiation can be measured by equating it to the loss in drop weight kinetic energy, provided energy storage in the machine is negligible.

Development of HTPB Propellant for Ballistic Missiles

1974
Abstract : The program objective is to develop a family of solid propellants for ballistic missiles based on an HTPB (hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene) binder, and to demonstrate one optimized propellant formulation by large scale motor firings. Specifically, five propellants have been formulated and are being characterized to the point that they will
