Ignition thresholds of aluminized HMX-based polymer-bonded explosives

The ignition of aluminized HMX-based polymer-bonded explosives (PBXs) under shock loading is studied via mesoscale simulations. The conditions analyzed concern loading pulses of 20 nanoseconds to 0.8 microseconds in duration and impact piston velocities on the order of 400-1000 m/s or loading stress...
