In this study, the technique of the performance prediction on the finocyl-type dual-thrust rocket motor is developed, and the predicted data are compared with those of the static firing tests. The prediction is carried out with the separate calculations of the grain burning area and the performance of the rocket motor. When predicting the performance of the dual-thrust rocket motor, the different correction factors should be used at the boosting and sustaining phases. Otherwise, an error of prediction will follow. Reprediction using the separate correction factors shows good agreement with the test data within 0.5% error.

Reliability estimation of solid rocket motor is more important to meet the advanced technology and to save the development fund. Domestic reliability requirement of rocket motor has been fulfilled by design capibility. But, reliability estimation process of our own shoud be estabilished by surveying the advanced nation's estimation technology.

Fast cook-off test with rocket motors was performed and characteristics of the results were analyzed. The material of the motor case was carbon epoxy composite. The motor was loaded with HTPE propellants to improve the insensitive munitions characteristics. In the tests, sound pressure and heat flux sensors were used to determine the category of response according to the standard. The reaction response of all of the HTPE motors tested by fast cook-off was judged as Type V burning.

In this study, flow visualization method to simulate internal flows of solid rocket motor in a water tunnel is introduced. The tunnel provides excellent visualization of vortex flows and has been used to propellant grain design of the solid rocket motor. A water tunnel is suggested for the research and the visualization test using dye, hydrogen bubble generator and PIV has been studied and discussed.

In order to calculate the performance of the solid rocket motor, the internal ballistics analysis code using HLLC scheme has been developed. The result of applying the analysis code to the actual motor shape has been compared with the experimental results and it is confirmed that the performance of the solid rocket motor has been well calculated.

A pyrogen igniter was designed to satisfy the required condition of kick motor system for the space launch vehicle. We analyzed the ignition characteristics and performed the combustion tests to verify the internal ballistic performance. In the design process, the arc-image test was carried out to find the sufficient heat flux as varying the initial pressure from 10 to 700kPa. The analysis indicated that the initial pressure condition would delay ignition time within a range from 100 to 500ms. The combustion test with an inert chamber was also performed to understand the ignition characteristics with the variation of the initial pressure of free chamber volume. Finally, we confirmed that the igniter could provide the acceptable energy to ignite the propellant of kick motor at the ground test. The result of the ground tests showed that the ignition delay time was within the design range at the atmospheric pressure condition.

A dual pulse solid rocket motor has several advantages compared to the single one. The range and the terminal velocity of the guided missile can be remarkably increased by the application of the pulse separation device(PSD) to the solid rocket motor which resulted in appropriate thrust distribution. In this study, the subscale dual pulse solid rocket motor with the bulkhead type PSD was designed, manufactured, and fire-tested. The bursting pressure, thermal characteristics, and the structural safety of the PSD were obtained by the tests and the results will be applied to the design of full-scale dual pulse rocket motor.

KSLV-II ullage motor is a type of the separation motor of Korea Space Launch Vehicle. Simultaneously operates with the retro Motor to perform the stage separation. The internal ballistics design, application of propellant composition, and the design of the combustion chamber and the canted nozzle were performed in accordance with the target performance of the ullage motor. Ti-6Al-4V alloy was applied to the combustion as material of chamber and nozzle. The heat resistant material of the nozzle was selected to ensure the heat resistance of the propellant containing a large amount of aluminum. And the combustion performance of the ullage motor satisfying the KSLV-II requirements was secured by performing the ground combustion test.

Wave propagation was studied for an unidirectionally reinforced composite materials. The velocities, the particle directions and the amplitudes of reflected and transmitted waves were obtained. This analysis involves an immersion C-scan procedure. Snell's law was modified to get the velocities of waves. This analysis could be applied to the detection of flaws in a transversely isotropic composite motor case.
