Composites: behavior of solid propellants

[Xishan]

Hello everybody! Can anyone tell me about some books on Mechanical/Structural behavior/Properties of Particulate Composite Materials? I would highly appreciate anything that is offered free on the net but If you can tell me about some good books to buy I will surely like that too... posted it on the other forum but didn't get a reply. Waiting for some good suggestions

Actually I'm studying about Composite Solid Propellants and need to know how much effect their composite nature has on the structural behavior. Most references take them as homogeneous visco elastic materials for stress analysis. In case of tensile stresses I too consider it to be the same but I'm a bit confused about the case of compressive stresses... because here the high percentage of solid particles must affect physical behavior. comments pls

, W. and Hu, Y. (2010). Particulate Composite Materials: Structural Behavior and Properties. CRC Press.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of constitutive models for the mechanical properties of particulate composite materials. It describes the structural behavior and properties of particulate composites including the micromechanics of composite materials, thermomechanical analysis of composites, and the mechanical behavior of particulate composites under different loading conditions. It also discusses the fracture and fatigue behavior of particulate composites.

Thank you for your question. I recommend checking out the book "Mechanical Behavior of Particulate Systems" by T. C. Huang and S. Nemat-Nasser. This book covers the mechanical behavior and properties of particulate composite materials, including their response to tensile, compressive, and shear stresses. Another good resource is "Composite Materials: Mechanical Behavior and Structural Analysis" by Daniel Gay and Stephen W. Tsai. This book discusses the mechanical behavior and analysis of composite materials, including their behavior under various loading conditions. Both of these books should provide valuable insights and information for your studies on composite solid propellants. Additionally, you may want to search for research papers and articles on the specific propellant materials you are studying, as these may provide more specific information and data on their behavior under different stress conditions. Good luck with your studies!
