| 内容記述 | The recent developments in Fabry-Perot fiber optic instruments have resulted in accurate transducers with some of the physical characteristics required for use in obtaining internal data from solid rocket motors. These characteristics include small size, non-electrical excitation, and immunity to electro-magnetic interference. These transducers have not been previously utilized in this environment due to the high temperatures typically encountered. A series of tests were conducted using a 1 1-Inch Hybrid test bed to develop installation techniques that will allow the fiber optic instruments to survive and obtain data for a short period of time following the motor ignition. The installation methods developed during this test series have the potential to allow data to be acquired in the motor chamber, propellant bore, and nozzle during the ignition transient. These measurements would prove to be very useful in the characterization of current motor designs and provide insight into the requirements for further refinements. The process of developing these protective methods and the installation techniques used to apply them is summarized. |
