Influence of storage environment upon crack opening and growth in composite solid rocket propellant
Defects formed in solid rocket propellant during manufacturing, transportation, storage, and assembly can lead to alterations in the thrust time profiles and possibly catastrophic failure of the entire rocket. In order to determine the effects of temperature, loading rate, and thickness on this part...
