摘要:
An ogival explosive warhead lens, nearly hemispherical in shape, construc in the form of four coaxial spheroidal shells containing different explosives which when initiated at a point on the curved surface near the flat base, will result in detonation waves converging to a line on the opposite curved surface lying in a plane which passes through the axis of symmetry.
摘要:
A two layer composite for case bonding double base propellants. The layer xt to the case and internal components comprises a neoprene or vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer formulation which includes triphenylmethane triisocyanate and the propellant adhesive layer comprises polyvinyl formal cross-linked with titanium acetylacetonate or 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate.
摘要:
In a hot gas generator with lamellar powder charge, the charge comprises a plurality of powder lamellae disposed side by side at regularly spaced intervals and projecting from a flexible shoe in which they are anchored by partial penetration into the shoe of anchoring teeth provided along one marginal edge portion of each lamella, so that between two teeth of the same lamella there is a communication aperture communicating the spaces on each side of the lamella. This permits instantaneous balancing of pressures between the various spaces, and minimizes the amount of the lamellae outside the normal process of combustion. The powder charge is assembled in the form of a mat with upstanding lamellae, and the mat or shoe is then shaped and formed to conform to a selected portion of the combustion chamber of a hot gas generator. In producing the charge, the lamellae are arranged and temporarily fixed to a first plate, with the anchoring teeth remote therefrom, and the first plate is then brought into facing relationship with a second plate on which a layer of polymerizable or curable plastic has been spread, such that the anchoring teeth partially penetrate and implant themselves in the plastic, after which the plastic is polymerized or cured, and the plates removed.
摘要:

摘要:
A method and article for inhibiting nitrate ester migration and plasticizer migration in solid propellants by encasing the solid propellant fuel grain in a laminated wrap material having a layer of silicone rubber sandwiched between layers of cellulosic material such as ethyl cellulose.
摘要:
An aimable warhead in the form of an explosive Luneberg lens with individually controlled detonators evenly spaced about its spherical surface for aiming and firing same in any given direction by detonating a specific detonator on a side of the warhead opposite to the direction of aim, and containing a plurality of concentric spherical shells of explosive which upon detonation develop an explosive plane wave that propagates in the direction of aim.
摘要:
The present disclosure is directed to a propellant charge for industrial use which comprises a body of a propellant powder having a centrally disposed recess extending therethrough, said recess containing a percussion sensitive primer substance, said primer substance being housed in the recess in such a manner that the compacting of the primer substance remains below the value required for the ignition thereof upon a sudden unexpected compression of the propellant charge in the direction of the axis of the recess.
摘要:
A powder propelling cartridge consisting of powder strips or rods uniformly arranged in a cartridge-casing. The strips or rods are connected to each other by threads or similar means which are applied perpendicularly to longitudinal axis the strips or rods so as to form a snow fence-like belt, which is coiled and inserted into the cartridge-casing.
摘要:
An igniter for a solid propellant grain having a perforated sheet substrate, which serves as a support structure for a flexible pyrotechnic coating applied to either one side or both sides of the sheet and extending into the interstices of the sheet, and an igniter cord attached to the sheet in which said cord contains a detonating-igniting composition which when initiated by a squib produces hot particles to penetrate the sheet interstices and ignite the coating.
摘要:
A shaped gas-generating charge comprising a solid, substantially oxidizer self-sufficient, gas-generating grain and a combustion-restricting polymeric inhibitor containing a woven reinforcement and a vaporizable material to cool the polymeric inhibitor and to retard the decomposition of the inhibitor polymer to prevent the introduction of inhibitor decomposition products into the generated gas stream. Vaporizable material is present in the inhibitor in a concentration of from about 10 to about 50 percent by weight based on the total weight of the polymer and vaporizable material in the inhibitor.
