Damage in Highly-Filled Composites

Abstract

Many explosives, solid propellants, and some other materials (asphalt concrete) can be considered highly-filled composites. The salient feature is that the "filler" material is a substantial volume fraction of the composite. With solid propellants the volume fraction of the particles exceeds 60% (typical number is 75%).
