复合固体推进剂浇入发动机时的流变学

浇铸时未固化的复合固体推进剂的流动特性是十分重要的,因为它直接关系到发动机装药的完整性。增加推进剂的固体含量,可以提高能量特性,却导致药浆的流动性变坏。固体含量高的推进剂呈现非牛顿假塑性流动特性,即表观粘度依赖于剪切应力,以及随着未固化推进剂存放时间的增长,假塑性也增加。本文介绍了在 NASA 主办下进行浇铸研究的一些情况。对浇铸过程中剪切应力的三个明显不同区域和每一区域中推进剂的流动特性,进行了讨论。叙述了推进剂组分和工艺条件的变化对表观粘度的影响和浇铸过程中形成药柱缺陷的有关流变性能的实验结果。     

CASH 2021: commercial access and space habitation

Issues about commercialization of space have been a growing concern in the past decade for the space community. This paper focuses on the work from a team of 51 students attending the Summer Session Program of the International Space University in Bremen, Germany. CASH 2021 (Commercial Access and Space Habitation) documents a plan that identifies commercial opportunities for space utilization that will extend human presence in space, and will chart the way forward for the next 20 years. The group selected four commercial sectors that show the most promise for the future: tourism, entertainment, space system service, assembly and debris removal, and research and development/production. The content of this document presents the results of their research. Historical activities in each of the commercial sectors are reviewed along with the current market situation. To provide a coherent background for future commercialization possibilities a scenario has been developed. This scenario includes a postulated upon ideal future and includes social, political and economic factors that may affect the space industry over the timeline of the study. The study also presents a roadmap, within the limited optimistic scenario developed, for the successful commercialization of space leading to future human presence in space. A broad range of commercially viable opportunities, not only within the current limits of the International Space Station, but also among the many new developments that are expected by 2021 are discussed.     

具有应变梯度的复合推进剂中裂纹扩展的特性

本文研究在具有应变梯度、填充密度大的复合推进剂中裂纹扩展的特性。采用中心有楔形裂纹的双轴试样。在室温、恒定十字头速度下进行试验。考虑了两种裂纹长度。通过分析试验数据来研究初始裂纹长度和非均匀总应变场对推进剂裂纹扩展特性的影响,还研究了测量裂纹长度所用时间间隔对裂纹扩展速率计算精度的影响。

日本霍普号试验计划近况

为研制可重复使用的航天运输系统，在日本新的航天长远规划中列有一项宏伟的５年试验计划。众所周知的霍普（ＨＯＰＥ）无人航天飞机计划，目前由日本宇宙开发事业团（ＮＡＳＤＡ）和国家宇航实验室共同负责。在今后５年内，ＨＯＰＥ计划将包括３种试验飞行器：高超音速实...     

Human exploration of Mars

The human exploration of Mars has the potential to return a rich harvest of scientific information about that planet, its possible past biological history and the prospects for future habitation by Earthly life. The realization of that potential will require new approaches and new technologies--a whole new paradigm in space exploration. Picture yourself exploring the surface of Mars, where your task involves conducting a detailed investigation of features larger than the United States in order to uncover a record of planetary history spanning over four billion years.     

困境中分高下 2009全球最佳业绩企业排行榜解析
