Abstract

Rocket motors are comprehensively employed to produce thrust or impulsive force to impart a preferred velocity to flight vehicle to transmit its delivery to the proposed destination. The working principle of Rocket motor is mainly Newton’s 2nd and 3rd laws. Rocket motors are non-air inhalation propulsion class i.e., won’t necessitate oxygen from the atmosphere for combustion of the fuel which is stored in the rocket motor. During the period when it is in service conditions of the motor hardware various objective must be taken care of such as Fracture analysis on the material along with Structural analysis and thermal design has to be carried out for a given input parameters for determination of stress levels and temperatures on the hardware. This paper provides the numerical means of aforesaid objectives and results obtained were compared with.
