Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly emerging as a enabling tool for solving complex materials
design problems. This paper aims to review recent advances in AI‐driven materials‐by …

The sensitivity of heterogeneous energetic (HE) materials (propellants, explosives, and
pyrotechnics) is critically dependent on their microstructure. Initiation of chemical reactions …

We investigate the effects of shock pressure and pore morphology on the formation and
growth of hot spots in HMX (octahydro‐1, 3, 5, 7‐tetranitro‐1, 3, 5, 7‐tetrazocine). Both non …

The response of high-energy-density materials to thermal or mechanical insults involves
coupled thermal, mechanical, and chemical processes with disparate temporal and spatial …

All‐atom molecular dynamics (MD) and Eulerian continuum simulations, performed using
the LAMMPS and SCIMITAR3D codes, respectively, were used to study thermo‐mechanical …

The formation of hot spots in dynamically compressed, plastic-bonded explosives is known
to be the primary mechanism by which these materials ignite and initiate, but hot spots are …

The formation of hotspots due to collapse of voids leads to enhanced sensitivity of
heterogeneous energetic (HE) materials. Several mechanisms of void collapse have been …

Void collapse in energetic materials leads to hot spot formation and enhanced sensitivity.
Much recent work has been directed towards simulation of collapse-generated reactive hot …

The collapse of voids in porous energetic materials leads to hot-spot formation and reaction
initiation. This work advances the current knowledge of the dynamics of void collapse and …

This work presents a multiscale modeling framework for predictive simulations of shock-to-
detonation transition (SDT) in pressed energetic (HMX) materials. The macro-scale …
