Design of solid rocket booster

  1. Additional or balance thrust required to achieve exhaust velocity to break escape velocity of gravity of earth
  2. Type of fuel, its burning mechanism, rate of combustion, generation of heat, its transfer and exit through nozzle to generate effective exhaust velocity.
  3. Dimensioning of solid rocket booster, its strapping and dis-joining mechanism.
  4. Calculations of deflection and shear stresses and bending moments in tube / shell as a result of thermal, mechanical, acoustic and atmospheric (air friction) stresses.
  5. Material selection and fabrication.
