Rapid Solid Rocket Motor Design

49th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference, 2013
Internal ballistic design of solid rocket motors (SRMs) is a well-established field. Most grain designs have been well characterized throughout the industry. However, generating and evaluating different grain design options can be quite tedious and time-consuming.

Solid rocket motor temperature sensitivity

Journal of Propulsion and Power, 1994
The temperature sensitivity of the propellant and the solid rocket motor are described by several different temperature sensitivity coefficients. This enabled the derivation of three different relationships for the temperature sensitivity coefficient pi(sub K).

Pulse-Triggered Instability in Solid Rocket Motors

AIAA Journal, 1982
This paper presents the results of a study to assess the ability of a recently developed comprehensive nonlinear combustion instability model to predict pulse-triggered instability in solid rocket motors. Performance models were developed to calculate the mass and energy flow rates produced by three laboratory pulsers (pyro, low brisance, and piston ...

Solid-Propellant Rocket Motors

2012
The solid-propellant rocket motor brings the flight mission capability of high thrust delivery over a short duration. Design issues, such as tailoring the shape of the solid propellant grain (charge) to produce a desired thrust-time profile, are discussed in some detail in this chapter.

Solid Rocket Motor Combustion Chamber Aeroacoustics

AIAA Journal, 1978
ASOURCE of solid rocket motor vibration is investigated by treating the problem of pressure fluctuations inside the motor cavity. Theoretical aeroacoustics is applied to the cavity gases and imbedded burning metal agglomerates. Several critical experiments are performed to provide numerical input to the theory.

Combustion termination of solid rocket motors

Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, 1965
To explore the feasibility of terminating combustion without the hazardous flame and debris associated with venting, a series of sixteen 5-in.-diam motors was fired. Two techniques were investigated: 1) injection of liquid into the combustion chamber, and 2) explosive discharge of coolants from a canister located inside the chamber.

The Advanced Solid Rocket Motor

Space Programs and Technologies Conference, 1992
The paper describes the Advanced Solid Rocket Motor (ASRM) that is being developed to replace, in 1997, the Redesigned Solid Rocket Motor which currently boosts the Space Shuttle. The ASRM will contain features to improve motor safety (fewer potential leak paths, improved seal materials, stronger case material, and fewer nozzle and case joints), an ...

Solid rocket motor space launch vehicles

Acta Astronautica, 1993
Abstract Space launch vehicles based on solid rocket motors are more cost effective than liquid rocket engine boosters. When stringent performance and dimension (length and diameter) constraints can be relaxed, design and manufacturing margins can be increased.

Analysis of Solid Rocket Motor Materials

2021 IEEE 12th International Conference on Mechanical and Intelligent Manufacturing Technologies (ICMIMT), 2021
The development of solid rocket engine has a long history. However, modern rocket technology and space flight developed until the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, and hence the gradual emergence of solid rocket, liquid rocket and hybrid rocket.
