A Modeling and Analysis Environment for Solid Propellant Life Prediction

摘要

Impact Technologies has developed a modeling and analysis software environment for solid rocket motor propellant life prediction. The objective of this software is to provide engineers with a tool to assess the effects of storage time, temperature and humidity on solid rocket motors and to predict their probability of successful operation when called upon. In addition to applications such as rocket motor storage, this technology is applicable to single-shot devices like vehicle airbags, ejection seats, emergency shutoff valves, and torpedo squibs that must work even after long periods of storage under varied environmental conditions.
