Abstract:The main failures that could deteriorate the reliable operation of solid rocket motors (SRMs) and lead to catastrophic events are related to bore cracks and delamination. Current SRMs’ predictive assessment and damage identification practices include time-consuming and cost-demanding destructive inspection techniques. By considering state-of-the-art optical strain sensors based on fiber Bragg gratings, a theoretical study on the use of such sensors embedded in the circumference of the composite propellant grai… Show more
