Abstract

A method is presented for computing the maximum thermal stress in solid propellant grains tha t can result from temperature cycling. The method is based upon a first approximation obtained from the analytical solution for thermal stresses assuming Young's modulus to be independent of temperature. A more accurate solution is then found by numerical integration taking account of the variation of Young's modulus with temperature.
