Study of surface cracks in a simulated solid rocket propellant grain with an internal star perforation

Solid propellant research has mainly been directed towards more accurate characterization of the propellant material nature and more reliable structural analysis of the grain. Internal star grain design is among the most popular grain shapes that are used in today's propulsion system. Due to it...
