We have analyzed the temperature and humidity aging test results of a composite solid propellant. The temperature aging test was performed to evaluate the storage life of a propellant, while the humidity aging test could provide the hygroscopicity of Ammonium Perchlorate(AP) exposed to .elative humidity (RH) 10, 30, $50\%$ environment. A specimen was used in the temperature test, and a block of propellant from the actual motor was used in the humidity test. We report that the 4-month storing at 60 degree is equivalent to the 10-year 60 degree condition. The composite solid propellant with HTPB binder showed signs of hardening with time lapse but the effect of humidity up to RH $50\%$ was not noticeable.

최근 전기용품 안전기준(이하 K 기준)의 국제규격(이하 IEC 규격) 부합화에 따라 온도퓨즈(thermal-links)에 대한 노화시험(ageing test)이 중요한 성능평가항목으로 부각되고 있다. 특히, 50일 이상 소요되는 온도퓨즈의 노화시험을 하기 위해서는 규격에 적합한 온도상승률을 가지고, 용단시간 및 용단온도를 정확하게 측정할 수 있는 시스템이 구축되어야 하므로, 그 성능평가설비 또한 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 온도퓨즈의 K 기준 및 IEC 규격을 분석하여 노화시험항목을 고찰하였으며, 온도퓨즈 노화시험설비 자동화시스템을 개발하여 국제적 수준의 성능평가기술 기반을 구축하였다. 이러한, 시험설비의 자동화시스템 개발은 성능평가기술을 향상시킬 뿐만 아니라 향후 시험기관의 국제적 위상 제고(提高)에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다.

The effects of aging on fatigue of PSF/AS4 laminates tvas studied using the new energy release rate analysis. The analysis by the variational mechanics has been useful in providing fracture mechanics interpretation of matrix microcracking in cross-ply laminates. This paper describes the changes of the critical energy release rate ${\Delta}Gmc$(microcracking toughness) about the variation of the aging period during fatigue loading. The master plot by modified Pans-law gives a characterization of a material system's resistance to microcrack formation. PSF/AS4 $[0/902]_s$ laminates were aged at four different temperatures based on the glass transition temperature for 60 days. At all temperatures, the toughness decreased with aging time. The decrease of the toughness at higher temperature was faster than at lower temperature. To assess the effects of aging on fatigue, the unaged laminates were compared with the laminates which were aged for 60 days at $170^{\circ}C$ near $180^{\circ}C\;T_g$. The slope of dD/dN versus A 6u, of the aged laminates was lower than that of the unaged laminates. There was a significant shift of the aged data to formation of microcracks at the lower values of ${\Delta}G_m$.

This study investigated the aging reactions of three kinds of igniters(BKNO3, THPP, ZPP). The life-time of igniter depends on oxygen and moisture in the air. For example, Magnesium contained in the $BKNO_3$ reacts with oxygen and water to form oxide and hydrate. This reaction has an adverse effect on ignition reaction and could be information to analyze aging. Thermodynamic calculation could interpret the aging reaction by calculating flame temperature applying several variables(initial temperature, composition, etc.). If combustion is not completed because of aging igniters, flame temperature will be formed at a low range. The result of this research is expected to support the analysis of igniters aging reactions.

The effect of cook temperatures, 100-$120^{\circ}C$, on firming rate of cooked rice stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 72 hours was studied. The cook temperatures had a definite effect in retarding the firming rate of cooked rice. The time constants, reciprocal of firming rate constants, of cooked rice cooked at $110^{\circ}C$ and $120^{\circ}C$ were 1.2 and 1.5 times greater, respectively, than that at $100^{\circ}C$. The total material available for crystallization and the Portion of material that durings storage were decreased as the cook temperature increased.

The effect of water activity(Aw) and storage temperature on retrogradation of pregelatinized corn starch was investigated at various temperature of $4^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$. Samples stored at different water activity, i.e., 0.43, 0.52, 0.75, 0.83, 0.88 and 0.93 by means of saturated salt solutions. The rate of retrogradation was determines. by enzymic digestibility, and evaluated by Avrami equation. The degree of retrogradation during storage showed a great difference around Aw 0.8. At Aw 0.52 and 0.75 at all temperatures, retrogradation occurred slightly. The effect of water activity on retrogradation was much greater at $4^{\circ}C$ than 300. And at Aw 0.43, the degree of retrogradation after 3-week storage was smaller than 3.9%. The critical water activity of retrogradation was inferred as Aw 0.43. At each temperature, the degrees of retrogradation of gelatinized corn starch after 24-day storage were 30% at Aw 0.8 and Aw 0.9, and greater than 50% at the Aw above 0.9. At Aw below 0.8 the degree of retrogradation was about 20%. The rate constants of retrogradation according to Aw showed small differences at $20^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$, but showed a great difference at $4^{\circ}C$. The value of exponent of Avrami was 1.0 regardless of temperature and water activity. And the rate constants of retrogradation increased with increasing Aw, but decreased with increasing temperature.

Hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) propellants of solid rocket motors age differently under different storage temperatures. The shelf life of a solid rocket motor depends on the aging ratio of the HTPB propellant; it can be estimated through the viscoelastic properties by an aging test. This study analyzed the initial and natural aging properties during long-term storage. The initial properties were obtained from characterization and accelerated test results. The test results were obtained by analyzing the strain on cylindrical grains when a thermal load was applied.

추진제의 노화 못지 않게 점화제의 노화도 추진 기관 성능에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 예측된다. 따라서 10년 이상 경과된 활성 모터에서 점화기를 분해하여 노화에 의한 점화제의 성능 변화를 알아보았다. 분석에 사용한 점화제는 II-D Bi-Convex형상의 B-KNO$_3$ 펠렛으로 열량, 자동 점화온도, 기계적 물성의 변화를 관찰하였고, 밀폐 용기(Closed bomb)에서 연소시험을 통하여 노화에 따른 점화알약의 압력변화를 측정하고 이론 값과 비교하였다. 또한 비활성 모타를 이용한 연소시험으로 점화기의 점화지연시간, 최대 압력, 최대 압력 도달시간 등을 측정하고 이론식과 비교하여 노화에 의한 변화를 관찰하였다.
