Mechanical and microstructural characterization of a HMX-based pressed explosive: Effects of combined high pressure and strain rate

The paper presents a study of the combined effects of strain rate and confining pressure on the behaviour and microstructure evolutions of a HMX-based explosive. Hopkinson bar compression experiments are carried-out on samples confined with a brass sleeve. The latter is instrumented in order to dete...
