Material Mechanics Research

Abstract

This report covers results of research addressing cumulative damage and crack growth behavior in a solid propellant and interfacial fracture of bi-material bonded systems. The program s basic approach involves a blend of analytical and experimental studies. In general, mechanisms and mechanics involved in cohesive fracture in the solid propellant and adhesive fracture in the bi-material bonded systems are emphasized. The results of both analytical and experimental analyses are evaluated and discussed.
