Substructure Method for Thermal-Stress Analysis of Liquid-Propellant Rocket Engine Combustion Chamber

This article is devoted to an important problem of calculation of deflected mode of the combustion chamber and the nozzle end of a new liquid-propellant rocket cruise engine. A special attention is given to the methodology of calculation. Three operating modes are considered. The analysis has been conducted in ANSYS software. The methods of conducted research are mathematical modeling, substruc...

RPA: Design Tool for Liquid Rocket Engine Analysis

RPA (Rocket Propulsion Analysis) is a design tool for the performance prediction of the liquidpropellant rocket engines. RPA is written in Java and can be used under any operating system that has installed Java Runtime Environment (e.g. Mac OS ® X, Sun SolarisTM, MS WindowsTM, any Linux etc). The tool can be used either as a standalone GUI application or as an object-oriented library. This docu...

Reusable rocket engine preventive maintenance scheduling using genetic algorithm

This paper deals with the preventive maintenance (PM) scheduling problem of reusable rocket engine (RRE), which is different from the ordinary repairable systems, by genetic algorithm. Three types of PM activities for RRE are considered and modeled by introducing the concept of effective age. The impacts of PM on all subsystems’ aging processes are evaluated based on improvement factor model. T...

A Magnetic Thrust Chamber Design For A Laser Fusion Rocket Based on Impact Fast Ignition Scheme

The laser fusion rocket, which is expected as a rocket that it replaces one of the chemical propulsions, can be efficiently operated by using a shaped target. The shaped target is made of fusion pellet and the pellet is surrounded by a moderator (propellant). We here examine the applicability of the impact fast ignition scheme to the shaped target. It was found that it is difficult to increase ...
