Flexible Case-Grain Interaction in Ballistic Weapon Systems. Volume II. Solid Propellant Grain Instrumentation System Design and Application.

Abstract

The experience and knowledge gained from this and similar programs were compiled in this volume, which was designed as a guide to the experimental stress analysis of solid propellant grains. The effect was divided into six major phases. The first phase is directed to the program manager and the project engineer, who must make the initial decision to conduct such an effort. The second and third phases are more elaborate versions of Phase I, but involve realistic plans for instrumenting and testing the units. Phase III is an evaluation of these plans to assure that the measurements can be obtained with the available facilities and test equipment. Phases IV and V define the extensive work required to carry out the test plans, while Phase VI includes the reduction of the test data and an assessment of the qulity of the testing and the value of the results.
