Much attention has been directed toward the development of modified double base (MDB)
propellant as it can offer high specific impulse as well as wide range of burning rate. One of …

The quasi-static and dynamic compressive properties of a composite modified double-base
(CMDB) propellant were studied over a wide range of strain rates from 10− 4 s− 1 to 10 3 s …

In this work, interface mechanical strength of a set of Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene
(HTPB)-Ammonium Perchlorate (AP) interfaces is characterized using dynamic microscale …

To fully characterize the compressive behavior of ethylene propylene diene monomer
(EPDM), quasi-static and dynamic compression experiments were conducted for EPDM with …

Abstract Dihydroxylammonium 5, 5′-bistetrazole-1, 1′-diolate (TKX-50) and nitrocellulose/
nitroglycerine (NC/NG) possess good energy properties, which were widely used in …

This study addresses the issue of quality consistency in the extrusion process of energetic
materials using multi-channel dies. To improve the extrusion efficiency of single-base …

The main advantages of modified double-base (MDB) propellants are wide range of burning
rates, high energy output, as well as enhanced thrust. This study reports on the effect of …

Aluminum metal fuel, with combustion heat of 32,000 J/g, is of interest as high energy
density material. Aluminum is able to react not only with free oxygen but also with inert …

Experimental measurements of interface shock viscosity in hydroxyl-terminated
polybutadiene (HTPB)-ammonium perchlorate (AP) material system are performed using …
