In the assessment of internal ballistic performance reliability of Solid Rocket Motor (SRM), eigenvalue discriminance method has long been used. In order to avoid the limitations of the traditional methods, a curve similarity discriminance modification combined with Hausdorff Distance was introduced. A Monte-Carlo simulation model of internal ballistic performance was established, and several uncertain parameters were chosen. A sample analysis of performance reliability of a designed SRM was presented. The result was credible, which proved the modification is feasible and it can meet the needs of the assessment of the internal ballistic performance reliability.

Purpose This study aims to determine the relationship between sectional geometric parameters of a slotted solid rocket propellant on structural integrity and internal ballistic performance of a rocket motor by using response surface method. Design/methodology/approach Zero-dimensional (0D) ballistic solver is developed and validated to determine the effects of sectional geometric parameters on internal ballistic performance of a rocket motor. Additionally, effects of these parameters on structural strength of the system are examined by performing linear viscoelastic finite element analysis under plane strain assumption. Results of the 0D internal ballistic analyses are used as an input to the structural analysis. Findings Different response surfaces are constructed to represent the characteristic variation of solid propellant’s structural strength and internal ballistic performance with respect to design variables. Originality/value Coupled analysis methodology in terms of structural strength and internal ballistic performance presented in this work facilitates many designers who are working on solid rocket motor development. This study represents graphical results summarizing effects of sectional parameters of a slotted grain on both internal ballistic performance and structural strength results. Additionally, graphical results summarizing the effects of sectional parameters on structural strength and internal ballistic performance provide useful information for researchers that lessens design period. Finally, validations presented in this work can also be used as a benchmark reference for different studies.

Although the rocket propulsion technologies have been used for several decades, the traditional motor can not meet the special rotating requirement. A kind of spinning solid rocket motor (SSRM) which used as power device of some kinds of dispenser was introduced. This kind of motor has the structure characterization for tangential nozzles. Its design scheme and prediction of interior ballistic performance were discussed. And the main factors should to be considered in design were analyzed comprehensively. In order to research working performance of the SSRM static test was carried out. The calculation and test results indicate that the design can satisfy general requirement of its application normally.
