Solid Mechanics group members present two papers at the 2022 SciTech forum in San Diego, CA. These papers highlight our group’s recent work on modeling the deflagration of AP/HTPB solid composite propellants.

  • “Phase field modeling of solid phase AP/HTPB to determine the effect of particle distribution on regression rate” - Baburaj Kanagarajan, Prof. Matt Quinlan, Prof. Brandon Runnels
  • “A Diffuse Interface Method for Sublimation and Deflagration ofMulti-Material Solids” - Emma Schmidt, Prof. Matt Quinlan, Prof. Brandon Runnels
