Abstract

In order to meet the requirements of novel solid propellant for insensitivity, high energy and low signature, theoretical optimal formulations were calculated. Firstly, a uniform design table was used to get testing formulations, insuring a complex formulation with lesser test times. Then, energetic parameters and combustion product composition of the formulations were calculated with a Matlab software. The relationship between formulation and impact sensitivity was established with impact sensitivity factor. Finally, comprehensive optimization was carried out by using partial least squaresregression analysis for different energetic parameters, combustion product composition and impact sensitivity factors, getting a solid propellant formulation with optimal insensitivity, high energy and low signature. The calculated result is close to the data reported in literature, showing the reliability of the method and the software.
