Mechanical Testing of Large Thallium Doped 

Sodium Iodide Single Crystals. Henry M. Lee. 

Structures and Propulsion Laboratory. 

N86- 17 187 

This report presents the findings of mechanical 

tests performed on five thallium-doped sodium iodide 

[NaI(Tl)] crystals. These crystals were all in the shape 

of circular flat plates, 20.0 in. in diameter and 0.5 in. 

thick. The test setup, testing procedure, and the test 

data are presented. 

The report shows that these large crystals exhibit a 

high degree of material plasticity, as well as a much 

higher strength than previously anticipated, on the 

order of 500 psi. Also revealed from the testing was the 

fact that crystals with a large number of grain 

boundaries developed less plasticity, and therefore less 

permanent deformation, than those with fewer grain 

boundaries.

Test Method for Telescopes Using a Point Source 

at a Finite Distance, Center Director’s Discretionary Fund Final Report, Project No. H20. 

Donald B. Griner, David E. Zissa, and Dietrich 

Korsch. 

N86- I4033 

A test method for telescopes that makes use of a 

focused ring formed by an annuiar aperture when using 

a point source at a finite distance was evaluated theoretically and experimentally. The results show that the 

concept can be applied to near-normal as well as grazing incidence. It is particularly suited for x-ray telescopes because of their intrinsically narrow annular 

apertures, and because of the largely reduced diffraction effects.

An Integrated Development Facility for the 

Calibration of Low-Energy Charged Particle 

Flight Instrumentation - Center Director’s Discretionary Fund Final Report. Alan P. Biddle and 

John M. Reynolds. Space Science Laboratory. 

N86-229 14 

A system has been developed specifically for the 

calibration and development of thermal ion instrumentation. The system is optimized to provide an 

extended beam (approximately 80 cm2) with usable 

current rates, - 1 pA/cm2, at beam energies as low as 1 

eV, with much higher values available with increasing 

energy. The beam energy spread is typically less than 2 

eV/charge, and the average angular divergence is 

approximately 2.5 deg. A tandem electrostatic and 

variable geometry magnetic mirror configuration 

within the ion source optimizes the use of the ionizing 

electrons, thus decreasing the gas and non-thermal 

electron throughput to the instrument chamber while 

improving the current density uniformity. The system 

is integrated under microcomputer control to allow 

automatic control and monitoring of the beam energy 

and composition and the mass- and angle-dependent 

response of the instrument under test. The data can be 

transmitted in nearly real-time to the interested 

investigators for comparison with expected results 

over existing computer networks. The system is 

pumped by a combination of carbon vane and 

cryogenic sorption roughing pumps and ion and liquid 

helium operating pumps. This allows testing and final 

calibration of flight instrumentation in an ultraclean 

environment.

The Retarding Ion Mass Spectrometer on the 

Dynamics Explorer 1 spacecraft observes both the 

thermal and superthermal (<50 eV) ions of the ionosphere and inner magnetosphere. It is capable of measuring the detailed species distribution function of 

these ions in many cases. It was equipped with an 

integral electrometer to permit in-flight calibration of 

the detector sensitivities and variations thereof. This 

document is intended as a guide to understanding the 

RIMS data set. The reduction process from count rates 

to physical quantities is discussed in some detail. The 

procedure used to establish in-flight calibration is 

described, and results of a comparison with densities 

derived from plasma wave measurements are provided. Finally, a discussion is provided of various 

anomalies in the data set, including changes of 

channeltron efficiency with time, spin modulation of 

the axial sensor heads, apparent potential differences 

between the sensor heads, and failures of the radial 

head retarding potential sweep and of the -Z axial head 

aperture plane bias. Studies of the RIMS data set 

should be conducted only with a thorough awareness of 

the material presented here, or in collaboration with 

one of the scientists actively involved with RIMS data 

analysis.

NASA TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM 

The results of low cycle fatigue testing on turbine 

blades for use in hydrogen/oxygen rocket engines is 

covered in this report. Cored blade and cored blades 

with circulation were tested in the MSFC thermal 

fatigue tester. Both blade configurations showed significant low cycle fatigue life improvements when 

compared to baseline solid blades.

Computed Tomography for Non-Destructive 

Evaluation of Composites: Applications and 

Correlations. B. Goldberg, L. Hediger, and E. 

Noel. Materials and Processes Laboratory. 

N86- 16268 

The state-of-the-art fabrication techniques 

for composite materials are such that stringent 

species-specific acceptance criteria must be 

generated to insure product reliability. Nondestructive evaluation techniques including 

computed tomography (CT), x-ray radiography 

(RT), and ultrasonic scanning (UT) have been 

investigated and compared to determine their 

applicability and limitations to graphite epoxy, 

carbon-carbon, and carbon-phenolic materials. 

While the techniques appear complementary, CT 

is shown to provide significant, heretofore 

unattainable data. Finally, a correlation of NDE 

techniques to destructive analysis is presented.

Auroral Thermosphere Temperatures from 

Observations of 6300 Emissions. John C. Bird, 

Gary R. Swenson, and Richard H. Comfort. 

Space Science Laboratory. N86- 15755 

Doppler temperatures determined from observations of the atomic oxygen 01 6300 1 line during 

March 1984 at the University of AlaskdFairbanks are 

presented. Temperatures were obtained from FabryPerot Interferometer pressure scans using a Fourier 

transform smoothing and fitting technique; this technique is presented in detail. The temperatures and the 

spread in the temperatures were consistent from day to 

tures were 800, 750, 750, and 800 K, respectively, 

with a spread of ? 100 K. These temperatures are 

compared to the MSIS (84) model atmosphere for 

similar geomagnetic conditions and found to be in 

general agreement; they are also consistent with results 

obtained by other investigators.

The Application of Diffusion Theory to the 

Analysis of Hydrogen Desorption Data at 25°C. 

Merlin D. Danford. Materials and Processes 

Laboratory. N86- 15359 

The application of diffusion theory to the analysis 

of hydrogen desorption data (coulombs of H2 desorbed 

versus time) has been studied. From these analyses, 

important information concerning hydrogen solubilities and the nature of the hydrogen distributions in the 

metal has been obtained. Two nickel base alloys, 

Rene’ 41 and Waspaloy, and one ferrous alloy, 4340 

steel, were studied in this work. For the nickel base 

alloys, it was found that the hydrogen distributions 

after electrolytic charging conformed closely to those 

which would be predicted by diffusion theory. For 

Waspaloy samples charged at 5,000 psi, it was found 

that the hydrogen distributions were essentially the 

same as those obtained by electrolytic charging. The 

steel, on the other hand, were essentially uniform in 

nature, which would not be predicted by diffusion 

theory. A possible explanation has been proposed. 

Finally, it has been found that the hydrogen desorption 

is completely explained by the nature of the hydrogen 

distribution in the metal, and that the “fast” hydrogen 

is not due to surface and sub-surface hydride formation, as was originally proposed.

Consideration of Radar Target Glint from ST 

During OMV Rendezvous. M. W. McDonald, L. 

B. Malone, and E. H. Gleason. Information and 

Electronic Systems Laboratory. N86- 16456 

This report discusses the nature of radar target 

glint and the factors upon which it depends when using 

the Hubble Space Telescope as a radar target. An 

analysis of the glint problem using a 35 MHz or 94 

MHz radar on the orbital maneuvering vehicle is 

explored. A strategy for overcoming glint is suggested.

Hex Rall Torque Test. B. A. Robinson and C. L. 

Foster. Structures and Propulsion Laboratory. 

N86-23973 

A series of torque tests were performed on four 

flight-type hex ball universal joints in order to 

characterize and determine the actual load-carrying 

3 
NASA TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM 

capability of this device. The universal joint is a part of 

manual actuation rods for scientific instruments within 

the Hubble Space Telescope. It was found that the hex 

ball will bind slightly during the initial load application. This binding did not affect the function of the 

universal joint, and the units would “wear-in” after a 

few additional loading cycles. The torsional yield load 

was approximately 50 ft-lb, and was consistent among 

the four test specimens. Also, the torque required to 

cause complete failure exceeded 80 ft-lb. It is concluded that the hex ball universal joint is suitable for its 

intended applications.

A Process Activity Monitor for AOS/VS. R. A. 

McKosky, S. W. Lindley, and J. S. Chapman. 

Shuttle Projects Office. N86- 19950 

With the ever increasing concern for computer 

security, users of computer systems are becoming 

more sensitive to unauthorized access. One of the 

initial security concerns for the Shuttle Management 

Information System was the problem of users leaving 

their workstations unattended while still connected to 

the system. This common habit was a concern for two 

reasons: it ties up resources unnecessarily and it opens 

the way for unauthorized access to the system. The 

Data General JV/IOOOO does not come equipped with 

an automatic time-out option on interactive 

peripherals. The purpose of this memorandum is to 

describe a system which monitors process activity on 

the system and disconnects those users who show no 

activity for some time quantum.

Unique Variable Polarity Plasma Arc Welding 

for Space Shuttle. R. J. Schwinghamer. 

Materials and Processes Laboratory. 

N86- 1961 7 

Since the introduction of the Plasma Arc Torch by 

Linde in 1955 and subsequent to the work at Boeing in 

the 1960’s, significant improvements crucial to 

success have been made in the Variable Polarity 

Plasma Arc (VPPA) Process at the Marshall Space 

Flight Center. This report gives several very important 

advantages to this process, and it discusses the genesis 

of PA welding, genesis of VPPA welding, theory of 

VPPA welding, special equipment requirements, weld 

property development, results with other aluminum 

alloys, and the eventual successful VPPA transition to 

production operations.

Corrosion Fatigue of 22 I 9-T87 Aluminum 

Alloy. Vernotto C. McMillan. Materials and 

Processes Laboratory. N86-22689 

Corrosion fatigue studies were conducted on 

bare, chemical conversion coated, and anodized 2219- 

T87 aluminum alloy. These tests were performed using 

a rotating beam machine running at a velocity of 2500 

rpm. The corrosive environments tested were distilled 

water, 100 ppm NaCl, and 3.5 percent NaCl. Results 

were compared to the endurance limit in air. An evaluation of the effect of protective coatings on corrosion 

fatigue was made by comparing the fatigue properties 

of specimens with coatings to those without.

Design and Verification Guidelines for 

Vibroacoustic and Transient Environments. 

Component Analysis Branch, Systems Dynamics 

Laboratory. N86-23975 

Design and verification guidelines for 

vibroacoustic and transient environments contain 

many basic methods that are common throughout the 

aerospace industry. However, there are some significant differences in methodology between NASA/ 

MSFC and others - both government agencies and 

contractors. The purpose of this document is to provide 

the general guidelines used by the Component Analysis Branch, ED23, at MSFC, for the application of the 

vibroacoustic and transient technology to all launch 

vehicle and payload components and experiments 

managed by NASA/MSFC. This document is intended 

as a tool to be utilized by the MSFC program 

management and their contractors as a guide for the 

design and verification of flight hardware.

A Torque, Tension, and Stress Corrosion Evaluation of High Strength A286 Bolts. J. W. 

Montano. Materials and Processes Laboratory. 

N86-2 I950 

This report addresses the problems associated 

with overtorque applied to the Booster Separation 

Motor (BSM) Igniter Adapter high strength [200 KSI 

(1379 Mpa)] A286 CRES bolts and the threaded holes 

of the 7075-T73 aluminum alloy BSM cases. Our evaluation included torque, tensile, and stress corrosion 

tests incorporating the A286 CRES bolts and the 7075- 

T73 aluminum alloy BSM cases.

NASA TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM 

The tensile test data includes ultimate tensile load 

(UTL), Johnson’s 2/3 yield load (J2/3YL), proportional limit load (PLL), and total bolt stretch. Torque 

tension data includes torque, torque induced load, and 

positive and negative break-away torque. 

Stress corrosion test data reflect the overtorque 

and the resulting torque induced loads sustained by the 

A286 CRES bolts torqued into a 7075-T73 aluminum 

alloy forged dome with threaded holes. After 60 days 

of salt fog exposure, the positive and the negative 

break-away torques, the subsequent mechanical 

property tensile test results, and the BSM dome 

threaded hole axial tensile pullout loads are reported.

Containerless Glass Fiber Processing - MSFC 

Center Director’s Discretionary Fund Final 

Report. E. C. Ethridge and R. J. Naumann. 

Space Science Laboratory. 

An Acoustic Levitation Furnace system is 

described that was developed for testing the feasibility 

of containerless fiber pulling experiments. It is 

possible to levitate very dense materials such as 

platinum at room temperature. Levitation at elevated 

temperatures is much more difficult. Samples of dense 

heavy metal fluoride glass were levitated at 300°C. It is 

therefore possible that containerless fiber pulling 

experiments could be performed. Fiber pulling from 

the melt at 650°C is not possible at unit gravity but 

could be possible at reduced gravities. The Acoustic 

Levitation Furnace is described, including engineering 

parameters and processing information. It is illustrated 

that a shaped reflector greatly increases the levitation 

force aiding the levitation of more dense materials.

suggest that flame attachment to the walls is a contributing factor. To better understand the physical 

phenomena involved, a portion of the preburner was 

modeled computationally. The simulated “preburner” 

had three two-dimensional jets entering a cavity adjacent to a baffle. The computational model employed

the Patankar Spalding algorithm with upwind differencing. The turbulence model was a standard k-.s

boundary conditions on turbulent kinetic energy and 

dissipation, k and E, was studied. The results indicate a 

very strong sensitivity to these boundary conditions 

over certain ranges of values.

N86-26348 

The Plasma Composition experiment on the 

ISEE-1 satellite was designed to measure ions from 1 

to 16 amu, at energies from near zero to 16 keV. The 

two nearly identical flight instruments were calibrated 

by means of preflight laboratory tests and in-flight data 

comparisons. This document presents most of the 

cietaiis or iiiosc: cffui’is, with special emphasis oii the 

low energy (0-100 eV) portion of the instrument 

response. The analysis of the instrument includes a 

ray-tracing calculation, which follows an ensemble of 

test particles through the detector.

to August 1982. Test objectives included measuring 

key operating parameters, simulating operations with 

an attached instrument cryostat, and validating servicing, operating, and safety procedures. This report is a

seawater at Oo, 25", and 80°C for 451 hr was examined. 

The percent weight gain at 0" and 25°C was low (0.06 

to 0.17 percent) and there was no significant change in 

the flexural properties for these environmental conditions. 

At 80°C there was a decrease in the flexural 

strength of 17 and 20 percent in seawater and deionized 

water, respectively. This is a comparison to control 

samples exposed to 80°C heat alone. These decreases 

were found to be nearly reversible once the samples 

were dried. Optical microscopy did not reveal cracking 

of the matrix. The flexural modulus was essentially 

unaffected by exposure to deionized water and seawater at 80°C.

Kinematics, Composition and Thermodynamics 

of the Mesopause, Turbopause Region of the 

Atmosphere (Between 80 and 120 km) Related to 

the Aeroassisted Orbit Transfer Vehicle (AOTV) 

Operations. Michael Susko. Systems Dynamics 

Laboratory. N86-26735 

This report addresses the mesopause-turbopause 

region (80 to 120 km) of the atmosphere which is 

frequently used as a boundary between the thermosphere and mesosphere for models of the atmosphere. 

The initialization of models is important since uncertainties may lead to significant changes in the computations of total density at greater altitudes. In this transition region, the experimental data base for the total gas 

density and the constituents of smaller abundance is 

very limited. The turbopause height (h,) may vary from 

90 to 120 km and no pronounced dependence of h, on 

season, local time, or solar activity is determined. 

The importance of atmospheric turbulence is discussed and its important role in the mesosphere and 

lower atmosphere by influencing the thermal balance 

of the upper atmosphere, as well as the distribution of 

different atmospheric constituents, is presented. The 

number of measurements of turbulence at these altitudes is small. Data from radio meteors, noble gas ratio 

analysis, and luminescent cloud analysis reveal no 

definite conclusion or systematic variation of the 

turbulence region. The heat input by gravity waves is a 

dominant term in the energy balance equation. Also 

gravity waves, either directly or through a mechanism 

of turbulence generation, enhance the mixing ability of 

the atmosphere. Internal gravity waves produce variations in the density as well as concentration of atomic 

oxygen. 

The uncertainty in the atmospheric density variation, according to Walberg (1985), leads to control 

system design problems for the AOTV relative to the 

amount of control authority required to deal with the 

unpredictable variation in density.

Inertial Upper Stage (IUS-3) Reaction Control 

System (RCS) Hydrazine Propellant Tank 

Assembly (PTA) Elastomeric Bladder Life - 

Analysis. Henry M. Lee. Structures and Propulsion Laboratory. X86- 10299 

This report presents the strains and time-torupture analysis performed for the IUS-3 RCS hydrazine PTA serial number (S/N) 0010 elastomeric 

bladder. Because the bladder, constructed of AF-E332 material, will be subjected to a fully pressurized 

preflight life in a 1-g environment in the vertical position for about three years, it became mandatory that the 

time-to-rupture life be quantified by analysis. This 

paper shows the analytical energy solution utilized in 

the calculation of the required bladder strains and 

subsequent life prediction. 

Results of the analysis revealed a conservative 

estimate of peak bladder strain at 82.5 percent where it 

folds over a circumferential retainer ring. The life 

related to the peak strain was found to be 3.48 years.

Final Report. E. C. Ethridge and W. F. Kaukler. 

Space Science Laboratory. 

N86-26410 

The effects of various gaseous atmospheric constituents on drop-tube solidified samples of elemental 

metals were examined from a microstructural 

standpoint. All specimens were prepared from the 

purest available elements, so effects of impurities 

should not account for the observed effects. The droptube gas has a definite effect on the sample microstructure. Most dramatically, the sample cooling rate is 

affected. Some samples receive sufficient cooling to 

solidify in free fall while others do not, splating at the 

6

end of the drop tube in the sample catcher. Gases are 

selectively absorbed into the sample. Upon solidification gas can become less soluble and as a result forms 

voids within the sample. The general oxidation/ 

reduction characteristics of the gas also affect sample 

microstructures. 

In general, under the more favorable experimental 

conditions including reducing atmospheric conditions 

and superheatings, examination of sample microstructures indicates that nucleation has been suppressed. 

This is indicated by underlying uniform dendrite 

spacings throughout the sample and with a single 

dendrite orientation through most of the sample. The 

samples annealed yielding a few large grains and single 

or “bi-crystal” samples were commonly formed. This 

was especially true of samples that were inadvertently 

greatly superheated. This is in contrast with results 

from a previous study in which surface oxides were 

stable and contained numerous sites of nucleation. The 

number of nucieation events depends upon iiie su~face 

state of the specimen as determined by the atmosphere 

and is consistent with theoretical expectations based 

upon the thermodynamic stability of surface oxide 

films. Oxide-free specimens are characterized by shiny 

surfaces, with no observable features under the 

scanning electron microscope at 5000X.

Protection Analysis. Jennifer Horn and Juan 

Maldonado. Structures and Propulsion 

Laboratory. N86-29737 

A system level failure could occur if the Hubble 

Space Telescope’s (ST) capability to operate as a 

facility on-orbit is critically reduced or when a significant reduction in the quality of science data is registered. Failure could occur if a meteoroid/debris impact 

damages a component of a major support subsystem or 

if a meteoroid/debris penetration causes straylight contamination in the light shield, forward shell, aft 

shroud, or through the aperture door. 

The ST was analyzed to find the probability of no 

critical penetration. A straylight leakage repair technique was recommended for the aft shroud, the region 

found most likely to be critically penetrated.

N86-32528 

Filament wound graphite/epoxy samples were 

immersed in seawater, deionized water, and toluene at 

room temperature and 80°C for 5, 15, and 43 days, and 

in methanol at room temperature for 15 and 43 days. 

The percent weight gains and short beam shear 

strengths were determined after environmental 

exposure. Samples immersed in deionized water and 

seawater had higher percent weight gains than those 

immersed in toluene at room temperature and 80°C. 

The percent weight gains for samples immersed in 

methanol at room temperature were comparable to 

those of deionized water and seawater immersed 

samples. A comparison of percent decreases in short 

beam shear strengths could not be made due to a large 

scatter in data. This may indicate defects in samples 

due to machining or variations in material properties 

due to processing.

interactive operation. Field tests on the Orion and 

Rosette nebulas indicate a limiting magnitude of 

approximately m, = 14 over the 40 arcmin field-ofview. Observations were conducted of Comet 

Giacobini-Zinner in August 1985. The resulting data 

are discussed in relation to the capabilities of the digital 

analysis system. The development program concluded

Ice Nucleus Activity Measurements of Solid 

Rocket Motor Exhaust Particles. Compiled by 

Vernon W. Keller. Systems Dynamics Laboratory. N86-32925 

The ice nucleus activity of exhaust particles 

generated from combustion of Space Shuttle propellant 

in small rocket motors has been measured. The activity 

at -20°C was substantially lower than that of aerosols 

generated by unpressurized combustion of propellant 

samples in previous studies. The activity decays 

rapidly with time and is decreased further in the presence of moist air. These tests corroborate the low 

effectivity ice nucleus measurement results obtained in 

the exhaust ground cloud of the Space Shuttle. Such 

low ice nucleus activity implies that Space Shuttle 

induced inadvertent weather modification via an ice 

phase process is extremely unlikely.

Shifts in Shuttle SRM Performance Because of 

Ammonium Perchlorate Crystal Shape on 

Missions 51-YJ and 61-A/B. Douglas L. Blackwell. Systems Analysis and Integration Laboratory. 

The design of the Space Shuttle vehicle configuration requires that the SRMs produce thrust within 

tightly-controlled limits. These limits provide assurance that Shuttle ascent performance goals will be 

achieved within the vehicle flight load constraints. The 

SRM’s will initially describe the excellent performance reproducibility of the 24 SRMs during the first 12 

flights [STS-8 through STS-26 (Mission 5 I -F)] using 

the HPM SRM. Secondly, this report will describe the 

transient phenomena which interrupted the reproducibility in the first 20 sec of flight for four flights (Missions 51-I/J and 61-A/B). The cause of this 20 sec 

phenomena is postulated to be a change in the crystal 

shape of the ammonium perchlorate used in the propellant. This shape change coincided with the performance shift on these four flights. The ballistic effect of 

the crystal shape change is manifested as a change to 

the generic “HUMP’ or “BARF” curve of the Shuttle 

SRM thrust/pressure-time curve. As the crystal shape 

change was corrected by the vendor, the performance 

produced by the Shuttle SRM returned to normal.

Major steps in the modeling process are presented as 

(1) modeling objective, (2) construction of the spacecraft geometrical model, (3) simulation of the particles 

in the space environment, (4) particle impact and 

subsequent events of interest, and (5) results of the

This report documents the hydroburst test of the 

aft portion of the PAM-D exit cone. The test fixture, 

test instrumentation, and test procedure are described 

in detail. The hydrostatic pressure required to buckle 

the cone was recorded at 9.75 psi. 

Meanwhile, the PAM-D exit cone was modeled 

using the finite element method and a theoretical buckling pressure (8.76 psi) was predicted using the SPAR 

finite element code. This report discussed the modeling technique which was employed. 

By comparing the theoretical to predicted critical 

pressures, this report verifies the modeling technique 

and calculates a material knockdown factor for the 

carbon-carbon exit cone.

This report presents the analyses and testing 

performed by NASA in support of an expanded and improved nozzle design data base for use by the U.S. 

solid rocket motor industry. A production nozzle with 

a history of one ground failure and two flight failures 

was selected for analyses and testing. 

The stress analysis was performed with the 

Champion computer code developed by the U.S.

Strain predictions were made and compared to test 

data. 

Two short duration motor firings were conducted 

with highly instrumented nozzles. The first nozzle had 

58 thermocouples, 66 strain gages, and 8 bondline 

pressure measurements. The second nozzle had 59 

thermocouples, 68 strain measurements, and 8 bondline pressure measurements. Most of this instrumentation was on the nonmetallic parts, and provided significantly more thermal and strain data on the nonmetallic 

components of a nozzle than has been accumulated in a 

solid rocket motor test to date.

NASA TECHNICAL PAPERS 

The purpose of this research was to develop a data 

base of paired detailed wind profiles for use in evaluating Shuttle Transportation System (STS) ascent capability. Since launch decision is based on a wind measured about 3.5 hr before launch, a data base of paired 

detailed profiles is needed. Method and technique on 

the reduction process and analysis is also presented. 

Guidelines used in selecting the pairs of profiles were 

established to insure a valid and representative data 

base. (TU values for 3.5 hr at 12 km altitude show 8 percent increase from the transition case to the winter case 

and 18 percent decrease from the transition case to the 

summer case. uv values for 3.5 hr at 12 km altitude 

shows 12 percent increase from the transition case to 

the winter case and 17 percent decrease from the transition case to the summer case. A special feature of the 7- 

and 10.5-hr cases is that uv increases by as much as 30 

percent from the transition to the winter profiles. This 

large increase does not appear in the (TU data. Comparisons of the calculated values of 3.5-hr standard 

deviations of u and v with actual component deviations 

measured during Space Shuttle launch conditions confirm that the statistical values are representative.

Reverification of Techroll Seal Used in the IUS 

Nozzle. R. L. Porter. Structures and Propulsion 

Laboratory. X86- 10233 

The Inertial Upper Stage (IUS) uses a Techroll 

Seal in the nozzle design of each of its two solid rocket 

motors. As a result of the small solid rocket motor 

(SRM.2) anomaly of the STS-6 space shuttle flight, 

additional seal testing, motor firings, and structural 

analyses have been conducted. This paper begins with 

a background of the nozzle configuration, followed by 

a description of the design features of the Techroll 

Seal, and concludes with the post-flight seal testing, 

motor firings, structural analyses, and design changes. 

Although the Techroll Seal, which is constructed of 

two plies of Kevlar sandwiched between layers of 

neoprene, was designed and qualified prior to flight, a 

significant amount of highly instrumented testing and 

analysis has been accomplished since the flight anomaly. The additional analysis and testing shows the significant effects of the nozzle gimbal angle and the increase in seal temperature due to gas leakage and pyrolysis gas. It was learned that the critical design condition for the seal occurs much later in the motor burn 

than at the time of maximum chamber and seal 

pressure, as concluded in the original design analyses.

Analytical and Numerical Studies of the Thermocapillary Flow in a Uniformly Rotating Floating 

Zone. William W. Fowlis and Glyn 0. Roberts. 

Space Science Laboratory. 

N86-2385 I 

The microgravity environment of an orbiting 

vehicle permits crystal growth experiments in the 

presence of greatly reduced buoyant convection in the 

liquid melt. Crystals grown in ground-based laboratories do not achieve their potential properties because 

of dopant variations caused by flow in the melt. The 

floating zone crystal growing system is widely used to 

produce crystals of silicon and other materials. However, in this system the temperature gradient on the free 

sidewall surface of the melt is the source of a thermocapiiiary flow wnicn aoes not disappear iii iiit: iuwgravity environment. 

Smith and Greenspan theoretically examined the 

idea of using a uniform rotation of the floating zone 

system to confine the thermocapillary flow to the melt 

11 
NASA TECHNICAL PAPERS 

sidewall leaving the interior of the melt passive. These 

workers considered a cylinder of fluid with an axial 

temperature gradient imposed on the cylindrical sidewall. They considered a half zone and examined the 

linearized, axisymmetric flow in the absence of crystal 

growth. They found that rotation does confine the 

linear thermocapillary flow. 

In this paper the simplified model of Smith and 

Greenspan is extended to a full zone and both linear 

and non-linear thermocapillary flows are studied theoretically. Analytical and numerical methods are used 

for the linear flows and numerical methods for the nonlinear flows. It was found that the linear flows in the 

full zone have more complicated and thicker boundary 

layer structures than in the half zone, and that these 

flows are also confined by the rotation. However, for 

the simplified model considered and for realistic values 

for silicon, the thermocapillary flow is not linear. The 

nonlinear flows were examined by first computing a 

weakly nonlinear flow and then computing the fully 

nonlinear flow. The weakly nonlinear flow is steady, 

has less boundary layer character, and penetrates more 

deeply into the interior than the linear flow but still 

shows some rotational confinement. The fully nonlinear flow is strong and unsteady (a weak oscillation is 

present) and it penetrates the interior. Some nonrotating flow results are also presented. 

Since silicon has a large value of thermal conductivity, one would expect the temperature fields to 

be determined by conduction alone. This is true for the 

linear and weakly nonlinear flows, but for the stronger 

nonlinear flow the results show that temperature 

advection is also important. Thus, this work reveals 

that for the nonlinear flow, a radiative sidewall 

boundary condition would be an improvement over the 

specified temperature boundary condition used in this 

paper and previously by others. Such a boundary condition would weaken the sidwall axial temperature 

gradient and hence the thermocapillary flow allowing 

the confining effect of rotation to play a stronger role. 

Hence, uniform rotation may still be a means of confining the flow and the results obtained define the procedure to be used to examine this hypothesis.

Pocketing Mechanics of SRM Nozzle Liner. 

Vincent S. Verderaime. Systems Dynamics 

Laboratory. N86-23974 

12 

A systems approach was adopted to study the 

pocketing phenomena on a solid rocket nozzle liner. 

The classical thermoelastic analysis was used to 

identify marginally strained regions on the composite 

liner erosion surface and at a depth coincident with the 

peak value of the across ply coefficient of thermal 

expansion. A failure criterion was introduced which 

included a thermal term and permitted failure assessment over the charred liner. The method was verified 

by satisfactory application to a reported related experiment. Liner pocketing mechanism was attributed to 

very localized material degradation caused during 

manufacturing process either by reduction of fiber 

strength and/or by concentration of resin volume fraction. Pocketing scenario over the degraded material 

was constructed with supporting formulation to predict 

size of fissures with respect to degraded material size 

and location in the liner and with bum time. Sensitivities of liner material parameters were determined to 

influence test programs designed to update mechanical 

data base of carbon cloth phenolic over the char 

temperature range.

Solar Array Flight Dynamic Experiment. Richard 

W. Schock. Systems Dynamics Laboratory. 

The purpose of the Solar Array Flight Dynamic 

Experiment (SAFDE) is to demonstrate the feasibility 

of on-orbit measurement and ground processing of 

large space structures dynamic characteristics. Test 

definition or verification provides the dynamic 

characteristic accuracy required for control systems 

use. An illumination/measurement system was 

developed to fly on space shuttle flight STS41D. The 

system was designed to dynamically evaluate a large 

solar array called the Solar Array Flight Experiment 

(SAFE) that had been scheduled for this flight. The 

SAFDE system consisted of a set of laser diode illuminators, retroreflective targets, an “intelligent” star 

tracker receiver and the associated equipment to 

power, condition, and record the results. In six tests on 

STS41D, data was successfully acquired from 18 

retroreflector targets and ground processed, post 

flight, to define the solar array’s dynamic 

characteristic. The flight experiment proved the 

viabi!ity of on-orbit test definition of large space structures dynamic characteristics. Future large space structures controllability should be greatly enhanced by this 

capability.

Effects of Variables Upon Pyrotechnically 

Induced Shock Response Spectra. James Lee 

Smith. Systems Dynamics Laboratory. 

Throughout the aerospace industry, large 

variations of 50 percent (6 dB) or more are continually 

noted for linear shaped charge (LSC) generated shock 

response spectra (SRS) from flight data (from the exact 

same location on different flights) and from plate tests 

(side by side measurements on the same test). A 

research program was developed to investigate causes 

of these large SRS variations. A series of ball drop 

calibration tests to verify calibration of accelerometers 

and a series of plate tests to investigate charge and 

assembly variables were performed. The resulting data 

were analyzed to determine if and to what degree 

manufacturing and assembly variables, distance from 

the shock source, data acquisition instrumentation, and 

shock energy propagation affect the SRS. LSC 

variables consisted of coreload, standoff, and apex 

angle. The assembly variable was the torque on the 

LSC holder. Other variables were distance from source 

of accelerometers, accelerometer mounting methods, 

and joint effects. Results indicated that LSC variables 

did not affect SRS as long as the plate was severed. 

Accelerometers mounted on mounting blocks showed 

significantly lower levels above 5000 Hz. Lap joints 

did not affect SRS levels. The test plate was mounted 

in an almost free-free state; therefore. distance from the 

source did not affect the SRS either. Several varieties 

and brands of accelerometers were used - all varieties 

except one demonstrated very large variations in SRS. 

One accelerometer gave very good repeatable results 

throughout the program. Instrumentation is the cause 

of the large variations in SRS. SRS from the same 

source are indeed repeatable.

Sprays for Warm Fog Dispersal. V. W. Keller, 

B. J. Anderson, R. A. Burns, G. G. Lala, M. B. 

Meyer, and K. V. Beard. Systems Dynamics 

Laboratory. 

A new brute-force method of warm fog dispersal 

is described. The method uses large volume recycled 

water sprays to create curtains of falling drops through 

which the fog is processed by the ambient wind and 

spray induced air flow. Fog droplets are removed by 

coalescencehainout. The efficiency of the technique 

depends upon the drop size spectra in the spray, the 

height to which the spray can be projected, the efficiency with which fog laden air is processed through 

the curtain of spray, and the rate at which new fog may 

be formed due to temperature differences between the 

air and spray water. Results of a field test program, 

implemented to develop the data base necessary to 

assess the proposed method, are presented. Analytical 

calculations based upon the field test results indicate 

that this proposed method of warm fog dispersal is 

feasible. Even more convincingly, the technique was 

successfully demonstrated in the one natural fog 

event which occurred during the test program. Energy 

requirements for this technique are an order of magnitude less than those to operate a thermokinetic system. 

An important side benefit is the considerable emergency fire extinguishing capability it provides along 

the runway.

the flows upon the dimensionless parameters aspect 

ratio and Peclet, Rayleigh, and Schmidt numbers is

thermally-induced buoyant convection upon the mass 

flux on the growth interface crucially depend upon the 

temperature boundary conditions on the sidewall (e.g., 

whether adiabatic or of a fixed profile, and in the latter 

case the results depend upon the shape of the profile 

assumed).

The variation of corrosion potential (ECORR) with 

time has been measured for 4130 steel coated with a 

preservative compound and for primer coated 22 19- 

T87 aluminum. The data for coated steel samples show 

a great deal of scatter, and a smoothing procedure has 

been developed to enable proper interpretation of the 

data. The EcoRR-time curves for coated steel exhibit a 

maximum, in agreement with the results of previous 

studies, where the data were the average of those for a 

large number of samples, while the present data were 

obtained from a single sample. In contrast, the ECORRtime curves for primer coated 2219-T87 aluminum 

samples show no significant variations, although considerable activity is indicated by the resistance-time 

and corrosion rate-time curves. 

No failures occurred in the longitudinal or transverse tensile specimens stressed to 75 and 100 percent 

of their respective yield strengths and exposed to a salt 

fog environment for 180 days. Tensile tests performed 

after the stress corrosion test indicated no mechanical 

property degradation.
