Investigation of Ignition Processes in Solid Energetic Materials
Abstract
Solid energetic materials are critical for the operation of many mission-critical Air Force applications including propulsion, munition, and safety systems. Despite their wide-spread use, ignition and run-up-to-detonation processes in many of these materials is not well understood. While different mechanisms have been proposed including hot spot generation and preferential flow phenomena, there are currently very few high speed experimental measurements that provide quantitative data detailing the underlying physical processes that occur during the run up to detonation. By studying the detailed processes that occur during the run up to detonation, new materials with tailored properties can potentially be developed. In the proposed work, we will explore holographic based image techniques to directly observe the detonation inhiation process of condensed phase explosives.
