Study on the Burning of Grain-molded Propellant
AbstractThe investigation of the burning of grain-molded propellant comprises progressive burning, ignition and internal ballistic property. The grain-molded propellant is extruded by high energy nitramine propellant in the professional mould. The grain-molded propellant was studied by closed-bomb test, ignition simulation equipment test and 30mm ...

Technique to Assess Aging of Propellant Grain
AbstractPhysical properties of composite propellants used in solid rocket motors change significantly with age. To predict the margin of safety and to reevaluate the remaining service life, the structural integrity analysis of solid propellant grains of aged rocket motors is pa-formed at various stages of their life span.

Effect of Mechanical Heterogeneity on the Structural Integrity of HTPB Propellant Grain
To investigate the structural effects of the mechanical heterogeneity of Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) propellant grain under ignition pressurization, a gradient finite element method was proposed to evaluate its structural integrity. The heterogeneous mechanical properties of the propellant grain were constructed and assessed.
