A Modified Discriminance in Performance Reliability Simulation of Solid Rocket Motor

In the assessment of internal ballistic performance reliability of Solid Rocket Motor (SRM), eigenvalue discriminance method has long been used. In order to avoid the limitations of the traditional methods, a curve similarity discriminance modification combined with Hausdorff Distance was introduced. A Monte-Carlo simulation model of internal ballistic performance was established, and several uncertain parameters were chosen. A sample analysis of performance reliability of a designed SRM was presented. The result was credible, which proved the modification is feasible and it can meet the needs of the assessment of the internal ballistic performance reliability.
