STUDIES OF INTERNAL DISPLACEMENTS IN SOLID PROPELLANT GRAINS (LONGITUDINAL DISPLACEMENTS IN FREE-STANDING, SOLID PROPELLANT HOLLOW CYLINDERS)

Abstract

An x-ray scintillation facility was used to study the manner in which the sub-surface material in a viscoelastic, thick-walled cylinder deforms with time while subjected to relatively simple mechanical loadings. Measurements of internal displacements were acquired for two, free-stand ing, solid propellant models. Each model was subjected to a mechanical loading consisting of either a sustained uniaxial compression or a combination of sustained uniaxial compression and internal pressure.
