Effect of cyclic loads on structural damage of rocket propellant grain [PDF]

Scientific Technical Review, 2019
Rocket motor propellant grain, cast or bonded into the motor chamber or solid coating, is exposed to various loads during its service life. Rocket propellant is a viscoelastic material, whose mechanical properties strongly depend on temperature and ...

Characterization of Structure, Properties, and Energetic Performance of a 1:1 Ammonium Dinitramide‐3,4‐Diaminofurazan Cocrystal

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) and 3,4‐Diaminofurazan (DAF) form a 1:1 energetic cocrystal. We report its crystal structure and spectroscopic signature and evaluate thermal stability, decomposition behavior, hygroscopicity, and combustion properties. Propellant performance calculations benchmark the material against guanylurea dinitramide (GuDN) and ...

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

International 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 ...

Numerical Study on Response Characteristics of Solid Rocket Pintle Motor [PDF]

Journal of Aerospace Technology and Management, 2019
Pintle technology is currently a versatile technology used in a solid rocket motor (SRM) to control the desired thrust by changing the nozzle throat area, while effectively controlling the chamber pressure at the same time.

Purification and Properties of Polyvinyl Nitrate and Its Compatibility With Solid Oxidizers

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyvinyl nitrate (PVN) is a nitrate‐ester energetic binder that can be produced directly from polyvinyl alcohol—a cheap commodity feedstock—thereby offering potential cost and supply‐chain advantages over binders based on nitrocellulose and other specialty polymers.

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...

Modal Analysis of Solid Rocket Motor

DEStech Transactions on Materials Science and Engineering, 2017
How to avoid the natural frequency closing to the environment disturbance frequency is a very complicated problem in the solid rocket motor engine .Once the resonance phenomenon happened, Solid rocket motors will be subjected to a larger dynamic stress environment, resulting in engine damage.

Solvent‐Induced Surface Morphology Probed by NP‐SIMS

Surface and Interface Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Surface morphology, that is, roughness and molecular arrangement, is known to have an impact on secondary ion mass spectra. The present study examines this issue using nanoprojectile secondary ion mass spectrometry (NP‐SIMS). NP‐SIMS involves bombarding the analyte with individual nanoparticles resolved in space and time and recording the ...
