breach fault model and diagnostic for the solid rocket
نویسندگان
چکیده
[Abstract] A model of the case breach fault for solid rocket boosters (SRBs) that takes into account burning-through hole in propellant, insulator and metal layers of a rocket case is developed. Melting of the metal layer and an ablation of the insulator layer in the presence of hot gas flow through the hole are analyzed in detail. Dynamics of the lateral (side) thrust produced by the growing hole is calculated for typical parameters of the SRB. A problem of inference of the fault parameters from the measurements of the nominal values of stagnation pressure and thrust is formulated and solved in quasi-steady approximation. An application of the recently developed Bayesian framework for diagnostics and prognostics of the case breach fault that can cause loss of flight control is discussed.

متن کاملDevelopment of an on-board failure diagnostics and prognostics system for Solid Rocket Booster
We develop a case breach model for the on-board fault diagnostics and prognostics system for subscale solid-rocket boosters (SRBs). The model development was motivated by recent ground firing tests, in which a deviation of measured time-traces from the predicted time-series was observed. A modified model takes into account the nozzle ablation, including the effect of roughness of the nozzle sur...
متن کاملOne Dimensional Internal Ballistics Simulation of Solid Rocket Motor
An internal ballistics model has been developed for performance prediction of a solid propellant rocket motor. In this model a 1-D unsteady Euler equation with source terms is considered. The flow is assumed as a non-reacting mixture of perfect gases with space and time varying thermo physical properties. The governing equations in the combustion chamber are solved numerically by using the Steg...

متن کاملEarly Detection of Solid Rocket Motor Case - Breach Failure ∗
This paper describes work on early detection of space launch vehicle failures that could lead to loss of control during ascent. The particular focus is on the Solid Rocket Motor (SRM) comprising First Stage of the Crew Launch Vehicle (CLV). Some of the most important failure modes leading to loss of vehicle control are caused by hot gases ejected from the SRM combustion chamber through a case b...
