Solid propellent rheology

Summary

The rheological behaviour of plastic propellent in rocket motor situations is simulated in an experimental technique. In this a differential gas pressure is applied across a plug of propellent in a rigid tube so as to deform it in an approximately telescopic shear fashion. Preliminary results are given and discussed.

Zusammenfassung

Das rheologisohe Verhalten plastischen Treibstoffs unter Raketenbedingungen wird in einer Versuchsanordnung nachgeahmt. Dabei wirkt eine Druckdifferenz auf einen Treibstoffpfropfen in einem starren Rohr so, daß dieser in einer teleskopartigen Soherung verformt wird. Vorläufige Ergebnisse werden gegeben und besprochen.
