Investigation of the Stability of Metallic/Composited-Cased Solid Propellant Rocket Motors under External Pressure

Solid rocket motors consist of a thin metallic or composite shell filled with a soft rubbery propellant. Such motors are vulnerable and prone to buckling due to sudden external pressures produced by nearby detonation. The stability conditions of rocket motors subjected toaxisymmetric, external pre...
