Integrating Graphite Throat Inserts with Phenolic Composites

The integration of graphite throat inserts with surrounding phenolic composites in systems like the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster poses a significant challenge. The current methods of integration, such as adhesive bonding, mechanical retention, or hybrid approaches, may not be optimal or well-documented. There is a need to investigate and understand the most effective and reliable method for integrating these components.
