Memory Function Norms for Solid Rocket Propellants: Part 1. Experimental Definition.
Abstract
Previously reported investigations by Fitzgerald, Farris, Hufferd and Vakili have employed Lebesgue Norms to characterize internal damage in solid propellants. The essence of the above investigations is that any previous strain history causes the material to change its properties. The present report is based upon the results of carrying out a series of one-directional and two-directional tests on an inert Minuteman Stage 1 propellant with the objective of generalizing and defining the essential character of permanent memory effects. The Chebychev Norm, essential supremum, appears to play the primary role in determining damage. The report is confined to experimental observations. (Modified author abstract)
