AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING TECHNIQUES FOR DETERMINING ENERGY-MANAGEMENT RELIABILITY

Abstract

Two techniques for automated statistical evaluation of rocket motor performance envelopes have been developed: the absolute and the approximate techniques. This report describes the logic for the absolute technique, which is a mathematically accurate method applicable to a large, fast computer, such as the IBM 7090. The report also describes in detail an LGP-30 computer program for the analytical study of pressure time or thrust time data using the approximate technique. The approximate technique is designed for use with relatively slow, limited storage computers, such as the LGP-30 and the RPC-4000. The approximate and absolute techniques make possible quality control and the evaluation of the effects of solid-propellant processing variations on performance reproducibility. (Author)
