COMBUSTION WAVE-PROPAGATION THROUGH DEFORMED SOLIDS

A one-dimensional model for combustion wave propagation in deformed me dia is proposed taking into account the coherence of the deformation a nd temperature fields. It is shown that stresses and deformations chan ge temperature profiles in the steady-state combustion wave and the co nditions of steady-state combustion wave stability loss. The concept o f the thermomechanical loss of combustion wave stability is introduced , which can occur before the thermal loss of combustion stability. It is shown that the coherence of deformation and temperature fields can be the reason for the exponential stability loss.
