The role of viscoplasticity in the deformation and ignition response of polymer bonded explosives

The effect of viscoplastic deformation of the energetic material HMX on the mechanical, thermal, and ignition response of a two-phase (HMX and Estane) polymer bonded explosive (PBX) is analyzed. Specific attention is given to the high strain rate response of the material during the first passage of...
