Extensions to Dsd Theory: Analysis of Pbx 9502 Rate Stick Data∗
نویسنده
چکیده
The benefits of using insensitive high explosives (IHE) like PBX 9502 (9502) have been well documented [1]. These desirable features come at a price. The reaction zone is longer for IHEs, thus making them more nonideal. In real world applications, this translates into significant performance problems, such as problems with detonation wave spreading. The speed of detonation propagation is affected over large regions. To be realistic, calculations of performance must include reaction zone effects.

Sensitivity analysis of a caliper formed atomic force microscope cantilever based on a modified couple stress theory
A relationship based on the modified couple stress theory is developed to investigate the flexural sensitivity of an atomic force microscope (AFM) with assembled cantilever probe (ACP). This ACP comprises a horizontal cantilever, two vertical extensions and two tips located at the free ends of the extensions which form a caliper. An approximate solution to the flexural vibration problem is obta...
متن کاملMoisture desorption rates from TATB formulations: experiments and kinetic models.
The rate of water desorption from PBX-9502, a formulation containing 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB), is measured using temperature-programmed desorption and modeled using conventional kinetic modeling methods. The results of these studies show two stages of moisture release. At lower temperatures, the release is likely assisted by thermal expansion of the TATB and melting of the Ke...
متن کاملDirect Simulation of Detonation Products Equation of State by a Composite Monte Carlo Method
Computer simulations are presented for a Composite Monte Carlo method, which allows direct simulation of 'real' explosives such as HMX and TATB. Chemical equilibrium, solid carbon, fluid-fluid phase separation, and the like, are all included in a single simulation method. Now, the entire detonation products equation of state can be simulated instead of isolated portions for limited benchmarks. ...

متن کاملDetermination of the Velocity-curvature Relationship for Unknown Front Shapes
Detonation Shock Dynamics (DSD) is a detonation propagation methodology that replaces the detonation shock and reaction zone with a surface that evolves according to a specified normal-velocity evolution law. DSD is able to model detonation propagation when supplied with two components: the normaldetonation-velocity variation versus detonation surface curvature and the surface edge angle at the...
