Abstract

In order to study the effect of fatigue load on composite solid propellant with constant strain, three set of experiments on propellant with different constant strains (20, 16.4, 10.9, 5.5, and 2.7 %) and different fatigue frequencies (10, 15, and 20 Hz) were conducted. Based on the uniaxial tension test, the mechanical properties’ changing law were obtained. It was shown by the results that the maximum tensile strength and the initial modulus of propellant decreased with fatigue load and constant strain, and the damage behavior under fatigue load with constant strain can be divided into three stages, stage one is that the initial modulus was decreased quickly (the fatigue times less than 600), stage two is that the initial modulus was diminished slowly, and stage three is that the modulus was cut down seriously again(the fatigue time is more than 72,000). The connection between the initial modulus and fatigue factors is confirmed at the second damage stage.
