Abstract Modelling the response of solid rocket motors to bullet and fragment impacts is a high priority among the military services from standpoints of both safety and mission effectiveness. Considerable effort is being devoted to characterising the bullet and fragment vulnerability of solid rocket motors, and to developing solid rocket motor case technologies for preventing or lessening the violent responses of rocket motors to these impact loadings. Because full-scale tests are costly, fast-running analytical methods are required to characterise the response of solid rocket motors to ballistic impact hazards. In this study, a theoretical first-principles-based model is developed to determine the partitioning of the kinetic energy of an impacting projectile among various solid rocket motor failure modes. Failure modes considered in the analyses include case perforation, case delamination, and fragmentation of the propellant simulant material. Energies involved in material fragmentation are calculated using a fragmentation scheme based on a procedure developed in a previous impact study utilising propellant simulant material. The model is found to be capable of predicting a variety of response characteristics for analogue solid rocket motors under high speed projectile impact that are consistent with observed response characteristics. Suggestions are made for improving the model and extending its applicability to a wider class of impact scenarios.

Abstract In order to study the mechanism of initiation of solid rocket motors under the impact of shaped charge jets, a shaped charge jet initiation test was experimentally studied to evaluate the safety of the motor under attack in the battlefield environment. The ex-perimental results indicated that the motor had a detonation reaction under the shaped charge jet impact. The response of the mo-tor was recorded by a high-speed camera. In addition, the mechanism of initiation of the propellant charge was evaluated using by numerical simulations. Pressure-time and reaction-time curves of propellants were analyzed in this paper.
