Abstract The feasibility of in-line insensitive high explosive train based on multipoint overpressure initiation is studied in this paper. output capacity the multi-point EFI verified by margin test. can reliably detonate booster TATB. Be directed against EFI, slow cook-off test and Liquid fuel fire were carried out response level was not greater than combustion. A liquid aimed at a small-scale...

Detonation waves in insensitive, TATB based explosives are believed to have multi-time scale regimes. The initial burn rate of such explosives has a sub-microsecond time scale. However, significant late-time slow release in energy is believed to occur due to diffusion limited growth of carbon. In the intermediate time scale concentrations of product species likely change from being in equilibri...

In this paper we present measurements and analysis on the mechanical thermomechanical properties of LLM-105 based plastic bonded high explosive RX-55-DQ. Specifically uni-axial compression, thermal (CTE ratchet growth), for some provide a comparison to TATB-based PBX 9502. We also same property performed RX-55-DQ samples that underwent accelerated aging.
