A great deal of difficulty is encountered in the thermo-mechanical analyses of nozzle assembly for solid propellant rocket motors. The main issue in this paper is the modeling of the boundary conditions and the connections between the various components-gaps, relative movements of the components, contacts, friction, etc. This paper evaluated the complex phenomena of nozzle assembly during burning time with co-simulation which include fluid, thermal surface reaction/ablation and structural analysis. The validity of this approach was verified by comparison of analysis results with measured strains.

An acoustic emission technique was applied to the structural strength test for the structural integrity evaluation of the nozzle assembly. These AE results were compared with data from the strain gages and displacement transducer. NDT using X-ray technique was performed to improve the test reliability before and after each test. In this structural integrity evaluation of the nozzle assembly, the internal crack initiation in the structure could not be precisely revealed by the strain and displacement results but the location and load level of the initiated crack could be precisely evaluated by using AE technique. From this test, it was proven that some new cracks can be generated in composite liner of nozzle assembly under the unexpected load due to interference between obturator and nozzle and these can be a cause of the unexpected abnormal failure.

A two-dimensional thermal response and ablation analysis code for predicting charring material ablation and shape change on solid rocket nozzle is presented. For closing the problem of thermo-structural analysis, Arrhenius' equation and Zvyagin's ablation model are used. The moving boundary problem are solved by remeshing-rezoning method. For simulation of complicated thermal protection systems, this method is integrated with a three-dimensional finite-element thermal and structure analysis code.

연결부를 지닌 대형의 노즐형상 제품은 대형산업기기에서 용기의 일부 및 추진체 및 인공위성 발사 대등에서 쓰이는 제품으로 목적하고자 하는 최종 조립품의크기에 따라 제품자체의 지름이 1m 에서 수m 에 이르는 대형으로 제작된다. 대형노즐형 제품은 제품 자체의 강도, 정확한 치수 및 소요재료의 다수등도 중요한 요소이나, 가공하중의 크기에 따라 다르지만 제품을 만들기 위해서는 수만톤을 필요로하기 때문에 제품제조의 가능여부가 성형기의 능력에 의존하게 된다. 본 연구는 비교적 소형장비로써 대형 노즐형단조 품의 제작이 가능한 새로운 성형공정을 개발하는데 그 목적이 있으며 공정개발은 비교적 소형 장비로써 대형단조품의 제작이 가능하도록 하는데 촛점을 맞추고서 이루어 졌다. 이를 위해 여러가지 가능한 방법 들을 제안하고, 각각의 공정 방법들에 대해서 Plasticine 모델 시험을 통하여 소성유동에 의한 성형성과 하중을 검토한 후에 국내에서 사용가능한 장비 및 하중능력, 그리고 성형성 등을 고려하여 적절한 공정방법을 선택하였다. 선택된 공정에서 점진적 팽창단조를 위한 예비 성형체의 결정 및 공정변수의 결정등을 납 모델링실험을 행하여하였으며 실재 재료의 축소모형실험을 수행하여 공정을 확인 하였다.

A two-dimensional thermal response and ablation simulation code for predicting charring material ablation and shape change on solid rocket nozzle is presented. For closing the problem of thermal analysis, Arrhenius' equation and Zvyagin's ablation model are used. The moving boundary problem and endothermic reaction in thermal decomposition are solved by rezoning and effective specific heat method. For simulation of complicated thermal protection systems, this method is integrated with a three-dimensional finite-element thermal and structure analysis code through continuity of temperature and heat flux.

In this paper, the development of unique model of the 2.75 inch rocket propulsion system is described. Recently developed korean 2.75 inch rocket propulsion system shows the improvement of a flame stability resulted from a change in the configuration of propellant grain, and of an incidental ignition protection function using the EMI(electromagnetic interference) filter on ignition system. Moreover it is shown that a directional flight stability is improved by increasing the number of fins and changing the nozzle configuration. Static firing test and thermal shock test were conducted for the validation before flight, and flight test of 210 rounds of rockets was conducted to verify the trajectory uniformity. In addition, intellectual property issues can be overcome with the unique korean 2.75 inch rocket motor as well as the performance improvement.
