INTERNAL REINFORCEMENT OF SOLID PROPELLANT ROCKET GRAINS

Abstract

The results of an experimental program to study the effect of organic reinforcements embedded in solid propellant rocket grains are presented. Criteria for materials selection is defined. A comparison of the mechanical behavior of reinforced and unreinforced propellant beams in simple flexure is presented, and ballistic compatibility of reinforcing materials embedded in the propellant is demonstrated.
