What is it about?

Comparing damage parameter based Finite Element fatigue life analysis results to measurements recorded during a rocket combustion chamber type fatigue life experiment in order to assess the accuracy of this numerical analysis method.

Why is it important?

* potentially reduces the neccessary number of full scale tests of liquid rocket combustion chambers / engines (due to proven numerical analysis accuracy) * might even help to avoid liquid rocket engine failures caused by the usage of non-validated analysis methods during the design phase of liquid rocket engine combustion chambers / engines

Perspectives

* might be very helpful for the numerical analysis part of the development and optimization of (re-usable) liquid rocket combustion chambers / engines * might therefore help to reduce the development cost of (re-usable) liquid rocket combustion chambers / engines * might therefore help to increase the efficiency / reliability of (re-usable) liquid rocket combustion chambers /engines
