EXPERIMENTAL STRESS ANALYSIS OF A SPHERICAL COMBUSTION CHAMBER

Abstract

The advantages of spherical combustion chambers, with respect to strength and ignition, make their use particularly desirable for shock tunnels and high speed launchers. The difficulties of design and fabrication have generally limited their widespread application. A spherical t pe of chamber has been designed and fabricated during the past year. This report describes the experimental stress analysis of the chamber that was made during its acceptance test, together with the subsequent modification of the chamber. (Author)
