Studies of the Mechanics and Combustion of Energetic Materials for the Design of Explosive Systems

Abstract

This is the final report that summarizes the research activities carried out under the grant F08630-95-1-0004 (for 5 year, period 01/30/95 to 01/29/00), awarded to the University of Illinois (D. Scott Stewart, Principle Investigator) and the Air Force Research Laboratory, Munition Directorate, Eglin AFB. The major research findings are summarized in the Discussion of Research Accomplishments and they describe (1) development of new models for reactive flow and ignition of energetic materials, (2) improved computational ability for reactive flow and ignition problems, (3) the transfer of detonation propagation algorithms to explosive design codes. A bibliography of all the main archival research papers and technical reports are included with their abstracts.
