Embedded Sensor Technology for Solid Rocket Health Monitoring

Abstract

Report developed under SBIR contract for topic AOl-l66 Embedded Sensor Technology for Solid Rocket Motor Health Monitoring'. This interim report outlines the significant progress achieved during this reporting period. Results from constant load tests indicate that the current build standard of sensor is stable and does not creep when under 90% full scale tensile load for over four months. The tests are continuing. Sensors and loggers have been manufactured and delivered and laboratory analog samples cast and successfully tested. The recorded data is good and will be analyzed to establish prognostic parameters for use in future phases of the work.
