title = "Predicting the shelf-life of single base propellants",
abstract = "Ammunitions stored in war fields have lifespans that are related to the single base propellants, as Nitrocellulose (NC), the main component of propelling gunpowder, decomposes naturally into an unstable substance, similar to other nitric acid esters. Decomposition is inevitable; however a decomposition product (NO2, NO3, and HNO3) and tranquillizer DPA (Diphenylamine), which have high reactivity, can be added to a propellant to restrain the induction of automatic catalysis by a decomposition product. The decay rate of the tranquillizer is also affected by the production rate of the decomposition product of NC. Thus, as the storage period of single base propellants lengthens, the reduction rate of the tranquillizer content increases. This paper presents a new methodology based on data mining and regression analysis for estimating the shelf-life of single base propellants using data from the ASRP to 105mm HE (KM1 and M1).",
