摘要

Mechanical properties of composite solid propellants, used in rocket motors, constantly change during service life. For that reason service life needs to be constantly reviewed and extended based on the current properties. Lifetime extension requires available safety margins to be enhanced in order to use the products up to their maximum possible extent. During reliving inspections, small and low cost items such as rubber seals, screws, igniters and even small auxiliary motors can economically be replaced with new ones. But in large rocket motors the most important and expensive part is the propellant grain which is also aged. It is not economical to replace the main propellant charge especially for case bonded grains. In case bonded grains, bore surface cracks and bondline system failure are the primary outcomes of grain's aging. Although the general features of aging process are common knowledge, little information is available to enable its importance in reliving of a composite motor charge. The aging behaviour of the composite propellant charge is presented in light of experimental studies identifying prime factors responsible for aging of Polybutadiene based composite propellants. Based on the experimental studies a practical method of grain trimming and cast on cast technique to enhance the life of the large propellant grains is presented. Finally to verify the effectiveness of the grain restoration method, the grain was analyzed by finite element technique which showed that the life as well as the safety margins is efficiently enhanced. This kind of technique can be employed to enhance the life of current stock of large rocket motors which are running out of age. At the same time this approach can be used in designing new rocket motors characterized by longer service life. Consequently the military user will get benefit from a more extendable life span, thereby improving reliability as well as life cycle cost.
