Atomic- And Molecular-Scale Simulations And Analysis Of Shock, Shear, And Adiabatic Compression In Energeticcrystals And Assemblies Containing Them
Abstract
We propose to perform and analyze molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of weak tomoderately strong mechanical shock and ramp wave loading in molecular high-explosivecrystals and interfacial structures containing them. Exploring how the fundamental nonequilibriumexcitation and relaxation processes that follow shock passage depend on moleculartopology, crystal structure, and shock wave orientation will contribute to understandingnanoscale energy localization, inelastic deformation/damage accumulation, and the origins ofintrinsic shock sensitivity of molecular energetic materials.
