Advanced fabrication approach for innovative triple base propellants with enhanced continuous fracture resistance.

This paper initially contrasts the solvent-based and solventless molding processes, subsequently optimizing a sustainable and efficient solventless molding route for both STP and SLTP. Key physicochemical parameters such as extrusion rate, residual volatile solvents, moisture content, and apparent density of both propellant types are meticulously compared. Furthermore, the orientation of crystal particles and the structure of the matrix-bound interface are analyzed. Comprehensive examination of triaxial progressive failure phenomena-including static thermal mechanical responses, quasi-static structural deformation, and dynamic structural damage-is conducted, leading to the formulation of a damage mechanism and model. Subsequently, a structural mechanics model for nitroguanidine micrometer rod-reinforced triple base propellants is established, quantitatively evaluating the influence of nitroguanidine crystal arrangement angles on the structural strength of both propellant types. This study furnishes a theoretical foundation for specialized internal structural and mechanical behaviors through theoretical computations.
