About this technology
Overview
Heath Tecna Aerospace used a COSMIC program, Analysis of Filament Reinforced Metal Shell Pressure Vessels to predict stresses in motorcase walls in a composite hybrid rocket and calculate the ideal geometry for the domes at either end of the filament-wound pressure vessel. The COSMIC program predictions were confirmed in testing.
