Review of challenges of the design of rocket motor case structures

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents the state of the art and challenges in the design of rocket motor case structures RMCS it briefly describes the construction of RMCS then lists the different operational loads that govern its design. This is followed by a review of the different materials that are suitable for use. The inherent complexities of the design process using conventional and composite materials are discussed in details; the optimum design of RMCS is studied and summarized. Finally useful conclusions are summarized to serve as a guide to the researchers and designers in this field.
