Impact Shock Sensitivity of a TATB Based Explosive Relevant to Specific Heat Properties
Abstract
This report is a supplementary follow-on to U.S. Army Missile Command (MICOM) TR-RD-SS-95-2, and Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) TR-RD-SS-99-8 that related plane impact shock sensitivity of CHNO energetic material to specific heat (Cp) per average atom magnitude and reactive temperature (TR) conditions. Specifically, plane shock energy input equal to the thermal vibratory energy increment (this is the area under the Cp versus T data curve between experimental temperature, (T sub EXP), conditions and reactive temperature conditions) is sufficient to cause shock induced reactions, up to and including detonation in energetic materials. This is demonstrated at four different test temperatures ((T SUB EXP)) for PBX-9502.
