Embedded Sensor Technology for Solid Rocket Motor Health Monitoring

Abstract

This final report presents the significant progress achieved during this Phase I 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 eight months. The tests are continuing and the current plan is to continue the trial for at least another four months. Sensors and loggers have been manufactured and delivered and the full specification and calibration sheets are attached to the report. Six laboratory analog samples have been cast and successfully tested and the manufacturing and testing procedures are given in the report. The recorded data was good and has been analyzed and the preliminary results are discussed. This data and results from future tests will be analyzed to establish prognostic parameters for use in future phases of the work. A review of this analysis and the initial conclusions drawn are also included in the report.
