Total Impulse Measuring System for Solid Propellant Rocket Engine: Phase I Report

Abstract

Discussion and results of three main considerations are presented: (1) study and discussion of the use site and existing measurement system at EAFB, with recommendations for the installation of the Rocketdyne system; (2) general and applied mathematical analyses of springmass total impulse measurement systems; and (3) mechanical and electrical design of the Rocketdyne system to be constructed. Specific results of these separate but related program efforts are, respectively: (1) concurrence with the general approach taken in the existing EAFB system, but disagreement with some specific design, installation, and operational features of the system; (2) new and original mathematical analyses whose results justify the Rocketdyne approach to the measurement problem; and (3) new and original mechanical and electrical component designs.
