Abstract
This paper investigated the composite materials application examples and trends in the future to the solid rocket motor cases. The motor case must be stiff and tolerate at the high pressures, and light weight. In accordance to these kind of requirements, the composite materials showed the adaptable efficiency, and glass fibers, aramid, carbon fibers are applied to orderly. The comparison of the motor case efficiencies of the D6AC steel alloy, aramid, carbon fibers results in the carbon fibers best. Also the capacity of the payload will be increased more than 20% by using the high strength ones.
Keywords
carbon/graphite fiber; glass fiber; aramid; specific strength; motor case;
