EXPERIMENTAL STRAIN AND STRESS ANALYSIS OF SOLID PROPELLANT ROCKET MOTORS.

Abstract

A review is made of the methods used to strainanalyze solid propellant rocket motor shells and grains when subjected to different loading conditions. The review includes methods directed at the determination of strains in actual rockets and also at the determination of strains in rocket models. The surveyed methods include twoand three-dimensional photo-elasticity, brittel coatings, electrical strain gages, moire, grids, etc. (Author)
