摘要:
Components (10) can comprise a substrate (11), a strain sensor (40) comprising at least two reference points (41,42) disposed on the substrate (11), and one or more thermally reactive features (50) disposed on the substrate (11) proximate the strain sensor (40), wherein the one or more thermally reactive features (50) react to one or more elevated temperatures.
摘要:
A solid propellant rocket motor has a tubular casing accommodating a mass of solid propellant material and at least one opening for the space in the casing to communicate with the outside closed by a closing head; the closing head being coupled to the casing by means of one or the other of two blocking portions with different strength both carried by a movement device which can be elastically deformed and operated from the outside.
摘要:
A solid propellant rocket motor or gas generator of the type having retractable filaments (18) embedded in the propellant (13) for the purpose of controlling the overall thrust or mass flow output is combined with a channeled separator (14) located between the propellant (13) and its casing (10) with the channels (16) open to the combustion chamber via ports (17). This results in distribution of combustion chamber pressure and temperatures over the exterior of the propellant grain (13) so that distortion of the grain will not occur sufficiently to cause binding or sticking of the filaments (18) in their holes in the propellant nor will the holes be enlarged to cause uncontrolled burning between the filament and the hole.
摘要:
The invention relates to a solid-propellant rocket motor (10) comprising an outer cladding (13) and a combustion chamber (20) arranged in the outer cladding (13). In order to simplify the fixing of fittings (14a, 14b, 14c, 5, 6), the combustion chamber (20) is embodied as a single component separate from the outer cladding (13).
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:
A hybrid rocket motor includes a solid propellant fuel grain component which incorporates fuel strengthening agents or mechanical retention devices. In one embodiment, the hybrid fuel formulation is a modified elastomeric polyurethane reaction product based on a liquid hydroxyl-terminated homopolymer of butadiene. A reinforcing agent is added which increases the tensile and tear strength of the grain by 50%. By so strengthening the grain, separation of the grain during the last portion of the burn is minimized. In a second exemplary embodiment, mechanical web stiffeners are provided in the form of a core configuration about which the fuel grain is cast. The web stiffeners are in the form of an open tetrahexagonal truss structure which mechanically traps and adheres to the fuel and becomes an integral part of the fuel grain geometry. In both embodiments, the integrity of the webs is maintained throughout the burn. Foam slivers may be added to the radially inner ends of web stiffeners to further inhibit undesired separation during the last part of the burn.
