Three factors govern adiabatic shear localization: strain hardening (or softening), strain-rate
hardening, and thermal softening. It is typically associated with large shear strains (> 1), high …

The harnessing of heat emanating from powder-based exothermic reactions to produce
advanced materials has been around for many decades, and is manifested in the process of …

An efficient approach that combines short-term (minutes) high-energy dry ball milling and
wet grinding to tailor the nano-and microstructure of Ni+ Al composite reactive particles is …

We use pulses of electrical, mechanical, and thermal energy to determine the ignition
thresholds of self-propagating reactions in Al/(Ni-7 V) and Al/Inconel multilayers. The energy …

Abstract The fully dense Ni–Al energetic structural material (ESM) was successfully
fabricated by using shock consolidation, with no reaction between the constituents. The …

This book describes thermoelastic and inelastic deformation processes in crystalline solids
undergoing loading by shock compression. Constitutive models with a basis in geometrically …

Generally, the Al-PTFE is thought to be inert under quasi-static or static loads. However, it
was recently found that after a specific heat treatment procedure Al-PTFE specimens could …

Fragments of energetic materials have stronger damage effect than traditional inert
fragments due to additional energy released by simultaneous chemical reaction. In order to …

Three different batches of tungsten-zirconium (W-Zr) reactive material were prepared by hot-
pressing elemental powder mixtures. The first sample had a Zr: W mass ratio of 66: 34. The …

Abstract An Al/Ni composite was produced via accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) process up
to four cycles. The shock-induced reaction behavior of the material was investigated by …
