Combustion of AP/HTPB laminate propellants

37th Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit, 2001
The combustion of AP/HTPB laminate propellants has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. The experiments used simultaneous UV emission and transmission imaging to obtain information about the flame structure and the burning surface profile.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

A Study of a Novel Additive for HTPB Propellant

1976
Abstract : Experimental studies were conducted to define the utility regimes of graphite linters (chopped graphite fiber ranging from 50 to 200 micrometers) with respect to burn rate augmentation, acoustic stabilization and processing improvement in HTPB composite propellant. Linter utility regimes were defined with respect to burn rate reproducibility

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

HTPB‐based polyurethanes for inhibition of composite propellants

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1995
AbstractPolyurethanes were synthesized by the reaction of hydroxyterminated polybutadiene (HTPB) and diisocyanates such as toluene diisocyanate (TDI), diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI), and isophoron diisocyanate (IPDI).
