Crack Growth Rates in a Propellant Under Various Conditions

Abstract

Cracks develop during manufacturing, handling and storage of rubbery particulate composites. During the service life, the cracks may begin to grow, but may still be subcritical because the cracks may grow slower than the burn rate of the propellant. Results for three types of specimens are described. This is done both at ambient and 1000 psi (6895 kPa) pressure.
