A Study on Ultra-Low-Pressure Ratio Technology on the Basis of 3D-Printed Propellant for a Solid Rocket Motor

open access: yesAerospace, 2023
Fused deposition technology (FDM), as an additive manufacturing (AM) technology, holds immense potential in the field of solid grain manufacturing. It can accomplish complex grain shaping with ultra-low-pressure ratios, which are challenging to achieve ...

Design of Multi-Propellant Star Grains for Solid Propellant Rockets

open access: yesDefence Science Journal, 1980
A new approach to solve the geometry-problem of solid propellant star is presented. The basis of the approach is to take the web-thickness (a ballistic as well as a geometrical property) as the characteristic length. The nondimensional characteristic parameters representing diameter, length, slenderness-ratio, and ignitor accommodation of the grain are

Solving an irregular burning problem in a small rocket motor [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Technical Review, 2014
During the design and development of a solid rocket motor, intensive irregular burning appeared in the area of high initial temperatures. The cylindrical propellant grain was designed for approximately neutral burning, with a hollow tube and both burning

Burning Rate Enhancement Analysis of End-Burning Solid Propellant Grains Based on X-Ray Real-Time Radiography

open access: yesInternational Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2020
Unexpected pressure rise may occur in the end-burning grain solid rocket motor. It is generally believed that this phenomenon is caused by the nonparallel layer combustion of the burning surface, resulting in the increase of burning rate along the ...

Analysis of pressure blips in aft-finocyl solid rocket motor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Ballistic anomalies have frequently occurred during the firing of several solid rocket motors (SRMs) (Inertial Upper Stage, Space Shuttle Redesigned SRM (RSRM) and Titan IV SRM Upgrade (SRMU)), producing even relevant and unexpected variations of the SRM

Parametric study of solid propellant slotted grain

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2021
Abstract One of the goals in solid rocket motor design is to have as large volumetric loading as possible keeping the basic requirements unaffected. Slotted grain can achieve this goal as it has the advantages of sliver-free and no stress-concentration regions that occur in other internal burning grains as star grain and wagon wheel ...

Regarding the perturbed operating process of DB propellant rocket motor at extreme initial grain temperatures [PDF]

open access: yesINCAS Bulletin, 2012
Despite many decades of study, the combustion instability of several DB propellants is still of particular concern, especially at extreme grain temperature conditions of rocket motor operating.

Reverse Design of Solid Propellant Grain for a Performance-Matching Goal: Shape Optimization via Evolutionary Neural Network

open access: yesAerospace, 2022
The reverse design of solid propellant grain for a performance-matching goal, one of the most challenging directions of the solid rocket motor designing work, is limited by the traditional semi-empirical parameter-driven optimization methods based on ...

Investigations of the mechanical response of dummy HTPB propellant grain under ultrahigh acceleration overload conditions using onboard flight-test measurements

open access: yesDefence Technology
In this paper, to study the mechanical responses of a solid propellant subjected to ultrahigh acceleration overload during the gun-launch process, specifically designed projectile flight tests with an onboard measurement system were performed.
