Mesoscale computational prediction and quantification of thermomechanical ignition behavior of polymer-bonded explosives (PBXs)

This research aims at understanding the conditions that lead to reaction initiation of polymer-bonded explosives (PBXs) as they undergo mechanical and thermal processes subsequent to impact. To analyze this issue, a cohesive finite element method (CFEM) based finite deformation framework is develope...
