From the component design, to the subsystem design, to the engine systems design, engine development and flight-vehicle application, this how-to text bridges the gap between basic physical and design principles and actual rocket-engine design as it's done in industry.

This is an autobiographical account of the science of rocketry beginning at Peenemunde, the famous German Rocket Development Center on the Baltic Sea where the V-2 rocket was developed, to Canaveral and the launching of the Redstone missile in 1953.

This book identifies and classifies the causes of component wear and failure. It then turns to the analytical and investigative methods to find the causes of excessive wear and failure at the mechanical, dynamic interfaces within tested components' "weak links." These methods are described in a cookbook fashion. They are supported by a thorough discussion of the experiences with the application of these processes to actual components, the weak links found, the corrective actions taken, and the significant improvements in service life achieved. The great effect that properties of nonmetallic materials have on component life are included. This includes an introduction to the family tree of polymeric materials and an extensive tabulation of 120 dynamic interface configurations and designs that were investigated and rated.
