Nuclear Ramjet Propulsion System Applied Research and Advanced Technology (Project Pluto). Volume 4. Propulsion System Design and Structural Analysis

Abstract

This volume contains the results of design, structures, and materials studies and structures component testing of a nuclear propulsion system in support of the Pluto reactor program. These studies include design concepts, structural analysis of steady state and dynamic loads, material evaluation, and recommended dynamic and structural test programs. The methods of analysis used have been outlined in each case for reference.
