DEVELOPMENT OF NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING TECHNIQUES LARGE SOLID-PROPELLANT ROCKET MOTORS. FEASIBILITY OF LOW-FREQUENCY ULTRASONICS FOR DETECTION OF PROPELLANT-LINER UNBONDS.

Abstract

Ultrasonic techniques for detecting propellant liner unbonds are reported. A detailed de scription of the ultrasonic equipment is given. The work was carried out using the 120-inch diameter segment containing known defects which was manufactured under this contract. (Author)
