The Problem of Optimum Design of Composite Housings of Solid Propellant Rocket Engines

Аннотация

The article, which is of a review nature, discusses the problems of designing and calculating the hulls of rocket engines of solid propellant with a high degree of weight perfection and made of composite materials by the method of automatic continuous winding. The history of the creation of such structures is briefly described and the problems of optimal reinforcement and optimization of the structural forms of composite membrane-free shells of revolution are considered. The results obtained in this direction by the scientific school of academician V. V. Vasiliev are discussed.
