The collapse of pores plays an essential role in the shock initiation of high energy (HE)
materials. When these materials are subjected to shock loading, energy is localized in hot …

Mechanical insult may be able to produce chemical transformations in solids when the
energy is released in highly localized regions. This phenomenon is responsible for the …

Mechanical performance is significant for the application of pressed polymer bonded
explosives (PBXs) materials. In this research, several types of 2, 6‐diamino‐3, 5 …

The shock to detonation transition in heterogeneous plastically bonded explosives is
dominated by energy localization into hotspots that arise from the interaction of the …

A thermal-mechanical coupling model describing energy dissipation of cyclotetramethylene-
tetranitramine (HMX) explosive particles subjected to drop-weight impact is developed …

We pursued a quantitative comparison of the continuum and mesoscale simulations of metal
particle reactions in a condensed explosive. The continuum or homogeneous approximation …

The seven-equation model is a compressible multiphase formulation that allows for phasic
velocity and pressure disequilibrium. These equations are solved using a diffused interface …

In diamond turning of polymer bonded explosives (PBXs), a transient temperature
monitoring tool is crucial for the processing safety issues. Three design principles are …

In this work we present multi-dimensional mesoscale simulations of detonation initiation in
energetic materials. We solve the reactive Euler equations, with the energy equation …

The influence of a variable blocking ratio on the DDT process is investigated through
numerical simulation and experiment. Two dimensionless parameters, the average blocking …
