Abstract

The structural integrity of solid propellants is simulated by dynamic mechanical finite element software under axial high overloads when the distortion of the solid propellant is classified as viscoelastic distortion. The simulating data show that the maximum axial stress and strain locate the contact area of the solid rocket and solid propellant bottom, and the circumferential strain is rather larger though the circumferential and the radial stress are smaller.
