摘要

The detection of voids in SRM propellant is critical to the safety of Launch Vehicles. Currently this is done with the use of x-rays as an NDE technique. It is hoped to supplant this technique with the use of ultrasonic NDE methods for reasons of reduced cost, increased mobility of the NDE set-up, automated accept/reject criteria, to name a few. To be feasible the ultrasonic NDE methods must be able to differentiate between a through-transmission signal from an SRM propellant segment with a void, and a signal from a segment without a void. The ability of ultrasonic NDE to penetrate one meter of propellant has already been demonstrated with sufficient signal-to-noise ratio. The crux of the ultrasonic NDE method will be in using the information present in the received signal to detect, locate, and size voids. This research embarks in this direction by showing the ultrasonic NDE technique received signal indicates a viscoelasticity of the SRM propellant, and therefore viscoelasticity must be included in any wave propagation model of the SRM propellant.; Ultrasonic NDE was used on a sample of inert propellant at the fifth and eleventh month after casting. A matched pair of 50 kHz transducers, wavelength in the material of 3.2 cm, were used in over 100 tests. Attenuation and velocity versus frequency profiles were obtained. A simple numerical simulation, based on the Kelvin-Voigt mechanical approximation of the stress-strain relationship, guided by a scalar expression, determined a viscoelastic damping coefficient, which is a measure of viscosity. This characterized the propellant sample for bulk viscoelastic material properties, and matched the experimental attenuation over the limited frequency band of the transducer.; Ultrasonic NDE on specimen with inclusions showed excess attenuation over what one would expect without inclusions. Numerical simulations showed like excess attenuation.; Ultrasonic NDE on SRM propellant segments shows promise as a technique for future use to detect, locate, and size voids. Further, as an ancillary benefit, the characterization of propellant sample for bulk viscoelastic material properties also allows the periodic tracking of attenuation, velocity and VDC to determine the changes over time. This should provide a quantitative means of determining service life in SRM propellant and possibly in other viscoelastic material.
