Compaction wave propagation characteristics in polymer bonded explosives at macro-meso scale

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

Gas-gun direct impact experiments are performed to characterize the compaction wave propagation in polymer bonded explosives (PBX). The digital image correlation based experiment setup is developed to capture the full-field deformation field at a temporal resolution of 200 ns with a spatial resolution that can vary from 8 μm/pixel to 100 μm/pixel. The experiment is conducted at an impact velocity of 56 m/s for both macro and meso-scale. The compaction velocity is calculated from the macro-scale full-field measurement. From the displacement field, using inertia stress calculation, the stress across the specimen is calculated at the macro scale. The meso-scale deformation mechanisms associated with the dissipation of the compaction wave was identified to be the plastic deformation of the binder and fracture of the crystals.
