Download or read book Effects of Surface Interactions and Mechanical Properties of Plastic Bonded Explosives on Explosive Sensitivity. Part 2. Model Formulation written by and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight major mixes were prepared from three baseline binders. The tensile and torsional shear mechanical properties and burning behavior of these model mixes have been investigated. The binder-filler bond energy determined from the surface studies can be correlated to the energy required for the onset of dewetting. The specific impulses of the model mixes were calculated. Some of the model mixes containing energetic binder were difficult to ignite at low energy flux. This suggests that the formulations may be candidates for insensitive energetic systems.
