Abstract:
Due to Challenger space shuttle accident in 1986, significant research has been done concerning structural behavior of field joints in solid rocket boosters (SRB). The structural deformations between the clevis inner leg and the tang (male-to-female parts of joint), the sealing of the O-ring to prevent the hot gas in joints, has been neglected causing the failure of the vehicle. Redesigning the field joint in SRB engine by accurate analysis of dynamic and thermal loads and by design of insulator and good O-ring, the leakiness of combustion hot gases was eliminated. Some parts of field joint su

Abstract:
Solid-propellant motors are used in a variety of space systems. This type of motor requires a guidance system, and a thrust vector control to function properly. One of the most effective methods for thrust vector control can be achieved by utilizing a flexible joint system. The flexible joint is the most widely used device in advanced nozzle system, such as space shuttle boosters, Vega, and Ariane 5. This setup includes multiple layers of elastomers to provide the flexibility, and a few metallic or composite rings as the scaffold of the system. In this study, a nonlinear simulation of the flex

Abstract NASA began corrosion studies at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in 1966 during the Gemini/Apollo Programs with the evaluation of long-term protective coatings for the atmospheric protection of carbon steel. KSC’s Beach Corrosion Test Site (BCTS), which has been documented by the American Society of Materials (ASM) as one of the most corrosive, naturally occurring, environments in the world, was established at that time. With the introduction of the Space Shuttle in 1981, the already highly corrosive conditions at the launch pad were rendered even more severe by the acidic exhaust from

Abstract:
Abstract The Solid Rocket Boosters of the Space Shuttle have very unique and critical requirements as airframe structures. They support the entire shuttle stack, absorb stresses of main engine start, experience water impact at greater than 60 miles per hour, and remain immersed in salt water for approximately 48 hours. In addition, the maintenance and deployment of the hardware takes place in a seacoast environment. In order to maintain the integrity of the hardware, inspections are performed on the entire structure after each flight to locate corrosion for remediation and analysis. The data f

Abstract:
Boosters are commonly used in liquid propellant rocket engines (LPRE) to allow lower propellant pressures in their storage tanks and, thus, smaller structural masses, contributing to cavitation free operation in the subsequent main turbopumps (TP). Boosters can be identified as key components for the overall performance of large engines, and if their operating requirements are stringent, they can operate under cavitation. Thus, effective design and performance tools are fundamental to design the components of these boosters considering this phenomenon. The simulation techniques based on turbul

The measurement of both pressure and temperature will be discussed, and novel techniques for measuring these quantities independently will be presented. Theoretical analysis and experimental results will be compared. Both multi-wavelength and heterodyning methods are going to be introduced and tested. Sensitivity
