摘要:
An assembly (100) mating first (160) and second tubular bodies iincludes at least one sleeve structure (162) forming a part of the first tubular body (160) and defining an inner receptacle surface region (166); a compression loading assembly (102) integrally formed with, constituted by, or otherwise securable to the second tubular body and at least partially received in the sleeve structure (162); and a cured adhesive bond positioned between an exterior surface region (146) of the compression loading assembly (102) and the inner receptacle surface region (166) to couple the sleeve structure (162) to the compression loading assembly (102). The compression loading assembly (102) is laterally expandable at at least the exterior surface region (146) thereof and constructed and arranged relative to the cured adhesive bond so that expansion of the exterior surface region (146) compressively loads the cured adhesive bond in a substantially lateral direction. The strength of the adhesive bond is thereby increased against shear stresses acting on said mating assembly (100) due to longitudinal and/or torsional loading.

A solid composition for generating a nitrogen containing gas is provided. The composition includes an oxidizer and a non-azide fuel selected from a bitetrazoleamine or a derivative or a salt or complex thereof and mixtures thereof. The preferred bitetrazoleamine is bis-(1(2)H-tetrazol-5-yl)-amine, a metal salt, a salt with a nonmetallic cation of a high nitrogen content base or a complex thereof. The salts and complexes are generally metal salts and complexes. The metal can be a transition metal. Metals that have been found to be particularly useful include copper, boron, cobalt, zinc, potassium, sodium and strontium. The oxidizer is generally a metal oxide or a metal hydroxide. The composition can include certain other components such as secondary oxidizers, burn rate modifiers, slag formers, and binders.

This invention relates to the production of black body-generating decoy flares for thrusted applications. Compositions are provided which, when combusted, provide black body radiation. The compositions generally include from about 20% to about 60% metal, such as magnesium or aluminum, from about 5% to about 50% ammonium perchlorate, and from about 8% to about 30% binder. Important to operation of the present invention is the production of graphitized carbon upon combustion of the composition. Accordingly, high carbon content materials are added to the compositions. These materials may include from about 5% to about 30% polyaromatic compounds, such as decacyclene, anthracene, and naphthalene. Other suitable high carbon materials include polyolefins. This invention also discloses methods of using these compositions in thrusted decoy flare applications.

The present invention relates to flares and other solid propellant devices, rockets or the like, equipped with an igniter or igniter system which is based in whole in part on an extruded igniter stick. The extruded igniter stick is formed from constituents comprising a water-soluble or water-swellable binder, at least one oxidizing agent, at least one fuel, and optionally, fibers.
摘要:
A solid propellant dual pulse rocket motor (10) has a pressure vessel (12) containing two pulse grains (24, 26) separated by a barrier insulator (32). An igniter assembly (36) disposed at a fore end (16) of the pressure vessel (12) selectively ignites a first pulse grain (24) from a central cavity (34). The igniter assembly (36) also ignites a second pulse grain (26) by ejecting hot combustion gases onto the fore end of the grain.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an igniter composition which is capable of being extruded to yield a robust igniter extrudate. The composition is particularly useful in the form of an igniter stick or other selected geometry for use in supplemental safety restraint systems designed for use such as in vehicles, ground or airborne, having such systems. The igniter composition is formulated from constituents comprising a water-soluble or water-swellable binder, at least one oxidizing agent, at least one fuel, and, optionally, fibers.
摘要:
A joint (20) is disclosed for connecting extruded segments (16, 18) to form a container (10), such as a pressure vessel for storing liquid propane. In cross section, joint (20) includes a pair of symmetrical tabs (22), each tab (22) configured at the end of adjacent arcuate outer wall segments (16). Tabs (22) are configured for contiguous engagement to form a boss (28) having a proximate neck portion (30) and a distal body portion (32). Joint (10) also includes a retaining member (40) configured at the end of an internal web segment (18). Retaining member (40) is configured to capture boss (28). A sealing weld (28) is utilized to seal the adjacent tabs at exposed seam (24).
摘要:
A rocket motor assembly is insulated or thermally protected with a rocket motor ablative material formed from a prepreg. The prepreg contains at least an impregnating resin matrix and, as a precursor prior to carbonization, either carded and yarn-spun solvent-spun staple cellulosic fibers, solvent-spun cellulosic filaments, or a combination thereof. When patterned and carbonized, the rocket motor ablative material can be lined or otherwise placed into a rocket motor assembly, such as between the solid propellant and case, in the bulk area of the exit nozzle liner, or at susceptible portions of a re-entry vehicle, such as the nose cone.
摘要:
A nonsolvent process of synthesizing bis(2,2-dinitropropyl)formal (BDNPF) is disclosed. In the process, 2,2-dinitropropanol (DNPOH) is reacted at low temperature with a formaldehyde source in the presence of a protic acid catalyst, such as H2SO4, HC1, H3PO4, or HBr. To inhibit byproduct formation, the reaction temperature is maintained from about -30 DEG C to 30 DEG C. Upon completion of the reaction, the reaction solution is quenched with water and washed with an aqueous hydroxide ion solution. The hydroxide ion concentration should be sufficient to neutralize the protic acid catalyst during the quenching step and to solubilize unreacted 2,2-dinitropropanol as well as other aqueous soluble byproducts in the reaction solution. The BDNPF product is extracted with a low boiling temperature polar organic solvent, such as methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) or equivalent solvent. The organic solvent is evaporated to yield usable BDNPF product. The resulting yield is at least 60 % based on the starting quantity of 2,2-dinitropropanol.
