Dynamic Deformation Properties of Energetic Composite Materials

Abstract

This final report consists of six chapters: (1) An introduction to the PCS Fracture and Shock Physics Group (PCS FSP) and some preliminary experiments on PBXs (pp. 3-46); (2) The effect of particle size and temperature on the high strain rate properties of an AP/HTPB PBX (pp. 47-55); (3) Developments in Hopkinson bar instrumentation (pp. 56-74); (4) Visits of Clive R. Siviour to Eglin Airforce Base and studies of impact-induced solid-state phase change in HMX (pp. 75-77); (5) High rate mechanical properties of PBXs (pp. 78-102); (6) Optical techniques (pp. 103-160). Also in Appendix 2 there is a list of the papers published by the PCS FSP Group (and one report from Eglin AFB) during the duration of this contract (2003-2005). Most of these documents are available in pdf format.
