AFT-END CLOSURE STUDY FOR POLARIS A-3 ROCKET MOTOR CASE

Abstract

Burst test data are tabulated for nine 1/3-scale test chambers. Three of the chambers were constructed without exhaust port reinforcement to deter ine how much of the laminate tension can be supported by adhesion of the filament to the aft metal part. Various methods of applying reinforcements of Scotch pre-preg tape to the port area were evaluated.
