Studies of the decomposition mechanism, erosive burning, sonance and resonance for solid composite propellants

Abstract

Recent experimental and theoretical studies on the decomposition mechanism, erosive burning, sonance and resonance for solid composite propellants are described. An attempt has been made to discuss recent advances and to define important areas where additional studies are needed.
