scope:
Practice:
Critical design features that reduce joint rotation, improve seal features, provide close tolerances, provide for leak checks, and provide venting are used to improve the reliability of case-to-case and case-to-nozzle field joints for large solid propellant rocket motors. Principal design drivers are the combustion chamber pressure vs. time profile, segment stacking and assembly tolerances, insulation and sealing configurations, launch dynamic loads, flight dynamic loads, and environmental temperatures.
