Uniaxial Compression of TNT and Comp-B at Strain Rates of 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, and 100.0 /s

Abstract

Two lots of TNT and Comp-B explosives were tested in uniaxial compression at strain rates of 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, and 100.0/s. The materials were tested at 21 deg.C to an end strain of 80%. The stress at failure, strain at failure, compressive modulus, failure modulus, incremental energy density, and the fracture assessment values were recorded for each test.
