Herein, a kind of primary-secondary thermally conductive network was designed by water-suspension granulation, surface coating, and hot-pressing procedures in the graphene-based PBXs composites to greatly increase the thermal conductive performance of the composites. The primary network with a threedimensional structure provided the heat-conducting skeleton, while the secondary network in the polymer matrix bridged the primary network to increase the network density. The enhancement efficiency in the thermally conductive performance of the composites reached the highest value of 59.70% at a primary-secondary network ratio of 3:1. Finite element analysis confirmed the synergistic enhancement effect of the primary and secondary thermally conductive networks. This study introduces an innovative approach to designing network structures for PBX composites, significantly enhancing their thermal conductivity.展开更多

The fragment impact is widely used to evaluate the response of explosive charges. In our work, the explosive detonation driving technique was used to generate a high velocity fragment with large mass. When the fragment masses are10 g, 16 g, 25 g, and 50 g, the highest velocity of fragments can reach 2400 m/s, 2100 m/s, 1900 m/s, and1400 m/s, respectively. The high velocity fragment with large mass was used to evaluate the safety of two kinds of CL-20 based explosive charges. The effects of the fragment mass and velocity were analyzed.Especially, the reaction extent was obtained based on visible phenomenon. The CL-20-based explosive charge containing Al had a higher safety level than that without Al. It was because Al had good ductility,and further improved the mechanical property of the material. Also, the numerical simulation was conducted to understand the reaction characteristics of the CL-20-based explosive charge. The results showed that as the fragment mass and velocity increased, the reaction became more violent.展开更多

When constrained DNAN-based melt-cast explosives are ignited under thermal stimulation, the base explosive exists in a molten liquid state, where high-temperature gases expand and react in the form of bubble clouds within the liquid explosive;this process is distinctly different from the dynamic crack propagation process observed in the case of solid explosives. In this study, a control model for the reaction evolution of burning-bubble clouds was established to describe the reaction process and quantify the reaction violence of DNAN-based melt-cast explosives, considering the size distribution and activation mechanism of the burning-bubble clouds. The feasibility of the model was verified through experimental results. The results revealed that under geometrically similar conditions, with identical confinement strength and aspect ratio, larger charge structures led to extended initial gas flow and surface burning processes, resulting in greater reaction equivalence and violence at the casing fracture.Under constant charge volume and size, a stronger casing confinement accelerated self-enhanced burning, increasing the internal pressure, reaction degree, and reaction violence. Under a constant casing thickness and radius, higher aspect ratios led to a greater reaction violence at the casing fracture.Moreover, under a constant charge volume and casing thickness, higher aspect ratios resulted in a higher internal pressure, increased reaction degree, and greater reaction violence at the casing fracture. Further,larger ullage volumes extended the reaction evolution time and increased the reaction violence under constant casing dimensions. Through a matching design of the opening threshold of the pressure relief holes and the relief structure area, a stable burning reaction could be maintained until completion,thereby achieving a control of the reaction violence. The proposed model could effectively reflect the effects of the intrinsic burning rate, casing confinement strength, charge size, ullage volume, and pressure relief structure on the reaction evolution process and reaction violence, providing a theoretical method for the thermal safety design and reaction violence evaluation of melt-cast explosives.展开更多

In order to investigate the effects of main components on the explosive characteristics of thermobaric explosives, various high explosives and oxidants were selected to formulate five different types of thermobaric explosive. Then they were tested in both open space and closed space respectively. Pressure measurement system, high-speed camera,infrared thermal imager and multispectral temperature measurement system were used for pressure,temperature and fireball recording. The effects of different components on the explosive characteristics of thermobaric explosive were analyzed. The results showed that in open space, the overpressure is dominated by the high explosives content in the formulation. The addition of the oxidants will decrease the explosion overpressure but will increase the duration and overall brightness of the fireball. While in closed space, the quasi-static pressure formed after the explosion is positively correlated with the temperature and gas production. In addition, it was found that the differences in shell constraints can also alter the afterburning reaction of thermobaric explosives, thus affecting their energy output characteristics. PVC shell constraint obviously increases the overpressure and makes the fireball burn more violently.展开更多

To this end, fluorinated semi-interpenetrating polymer networks(semiIPNs) were prepared using different catalyst amounts(denoted as F23-CLF-30-D). The involved curing and phase separation processes were monitored using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, a haze meter and a rheometer. Curing rate constant and activation energy were calculated using a theoretical model and numerical method, respectively. Results revealed that owing to its co-continuous micro-phase separation structure, the F23-CLF-30-D3 semi-IPN exhibited considerably higher tensile strength and elongation at break than pure fluororubber F2314 and the F23-CLF-30-D0 semi-IPN because the phase separation and curing rates matched in the initial stage of curing.An arc Brazilian test revealed that F23-CLF-30-D-based composites used as mock materials for PBXs exhibited excellent mechanical performance and storage stability. Thus, the matched curing and phase separation rates play a crucial role during the fabrication of high-performance semi-IPNs;these factors can be feasibly controlled using an appropriate catalyst amount.展开更多

文摘While the moisture content of soil affects significantly the blast impulse of shallow buried explosives,the role of surface-covering water(SCW)on soil in such blast impulse remains elusive.A combined experimental and numerical study has been carried out to characterize the effect of SCW on transferred impulse and loading magnitude of shallow buried explosives.Firstly,blast tests of shallow buried explosives were conducted,with and without the SCW,to quantitatively assess the blast loading impulse.Subsequently,finite element(FE)simulations were performed and validated against experimental measurement,with good agreement achieved.The validated FE model was then employed to predict the dynamic response of a fully-clamped metallic circular target,subjected to the explosive impact of shallow buried explosives with SCW,and explore the corresponding physical mechanisms.It was demonstrated that shallow buried explosives in saturated soil generate a greater impulse transferred towards the target relative to those in dry soil.The deformation displacement of the target plate is doubled.Increasing the height of SCW results in enhanced center peak deflection of the loaded target,accompanied by subsequent fall,due to the variation of deformation pattern of the loaded target from concentrated load to uniform load.Meanwhile,the presence of SCW increases the blast impulse transferred towards the target by three times.In addition,there exists a threshold value of the burial depth that maximizes the impact impulse.This threshold exhibits a strong sensitivity to SCW height,decreasing with increasing SCW height.An empirical formula for predicting threshold has been provided.Similar conclusions can be drawn for different explosive masses.The results provide technical guidance on blast loading intensity and its spatial distribution considering shallow buried explosives in coast-land battlefields,which can ultimately contribute to better protective designs.

文摘The current work addresses the challenge of elucidating the performance of fluoroelastomers within the HMX(octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine)based polymer-bonded explosives(PBXs).To simulate the confined interface in PBXs,bilayer films of F2314/HMX and F2311/HMX were designed.Neutron reflectivity(NR),nanoindentation,and X-ray reflectivity(XRR)were employed to examine the layer thickness,interface characteristics,diffusion behavior,and surface morphology of the bilayers.NR measurements revealed interface thicknesses of 45Å and 98Å for F2314/HMX and F2311/HMX,respectively,indicating deeper penetration of F2311 into the HMX matrix.NR also suggested a denser polymer network with a higher scattering length density(SLD)near the HMX interface for both fluoroelastomers,while the bound layer of F2311 was notably thicker.Nanoindentation cross-checks and confirms the presence of a bound layer,highlighting the differences in stiffness and diffusion ability between the two polymers.The consistency between the NR and nanoindentation results suggests that F2311 demonstrates better flexibility and elasticity,whereas F2314 is stiffer and more plastic.Accordingly,the structures and performances of different fluoroelastomers at the HMX interface are discussed,which can provide valuable insights into the selection of binders for PBX formulations tailored to specific applications.

文摘Detonation performance is crucial for evaluating the power of high explosives(HEs),and the equation of state(EOS)that accurately describes the high-temperature,high-pressure,and high-temperature,medium-pressure states of detonation products is key to assessing the damage efficiency of these energetic materials.This article examines the limitations of the VLW EOS in representing the thermodynamic states of explosive detonation gas products under high-temperature and medium-to high-pressure conditions.A new gas EOS for detonation products,called VHL(Virial-Han-Long),is proposed.The accuracy of VHL in describing gas states under high-temperature and medium-to high-pressure conditions is verified,and its performance in evaluating explosive detonation and working capabilities is explored.The results demonstrate that VHL exhibits high precision in calculating detonation performance.Subsequently,the detonation performance of three new HEs(ICM-101,ONC,and TNAZ)was calculated and compared to traditional HEs(TATB,CL-20,and HMX).The results indicate that ONC has superior detonation performance compared to the other explosives,while ICM-101 shows a detonation velocity similar to CL-20 but with slightly lower detonation pressure.The detonation characteristics of TNAZ are comparable to those of the standard HE HMX.From the perspective of products,considering the comprehensive work performance(mechanical work and detonation heat),both ONC and ICM-101demonstrate relatively superior performance.

Herein, a kind of primary-secondary thermally conductive network was designed by water-suspension granulation, surface coating, and hot-pressing procedures in the graphene-based PBXs composites to greatly increase the thermal conductive performance of the composites. The primary network with a threedimensional structure provided the heat-conducting skeleton, while the secondary network in the polymer matrix bridged the primary network to increase the network density. The enhancement efficiency in the thermally conductive performance of the composites reached the highest value of 59.70% at a primary-secondary network ratio of 3:1. Finite element analysis confirmed the synergistic enhancement effect of the primary and secondary thermally conductive networks. This study introduces an innovative approach to designing network structures for PBX composites, significantly enhancing their thermal conductivity.
文摘The impact safety of explosive charges has been focused in these decades. The fragment impact is widely used to evaluate the response of explosive charges. In our work, the explosive detonation driving technique was used to generate a high velocity fragment with large mass. When the fragment masses are10 g, 16 g, 25 g, and 50 g, the highest velocity of fragments can reach 2400 m/s, 2100 m/s, 1900 m/s, and1400 m/s, respectively. The high velocity fragment with large mass was used to evaluate the safety of two kinds of CL-20 based explosive charges. The effects of the fragment mass and velocity were analyzed.Especially, the reaction extent was obtained based on visible phenomenon. The CL-20-based explosive charge containing Al had a higher safety level than that without Al. It was because Al had good ductility,and further improved the mechanical property of the material. Also, the numerical simulation was conducted to understand the reaction characteristics of the CL-20-based explosive charge. The results showed that as the fragment mass and velocity increased, the reaction became more violent.

文摘The detonation of fuel-rich explosives yields combustible products that persistently burn upon mixing with ambient oxygen,releasing additional energy through a phenomenon known as the afterburning effect.This process greatly influences the evolution of confined blast loading and the subsequent structural response,which is crucial in confined blast scenarios.Given the complex nature of the reaction process,accurate analysis of the afterburning effect remains challenging.Previous studies have either overlooked the mechanisms of detonation product combustion or failed to provide experimental validation.This study introduces a three-dimensional model to effectively characterize the combustion of detonation products.The model integrates chemical reaction source terms into the governing equations to consider the combustion processes.Numerical simulations and experimental tests were conducted to analyze the combustion and energy release from the detonation products of fuel-rich explosives in confined spaces.Approximately 50%of the energy was released during the combustion of detonation products in a confined TNT explosion.Although the combustion of these products was much slower than the detonation process,it aligned with the dynamic response of the structure,which enhanced the explosive yield.Excluding afterburning from the analysis reduced the center-point deformation of the structure by 30%.Following the inclusion of afterburning,the simulated quasistatic pressure increased by approximately 45%.Subsequent comparisons highlighted the merits of the proposed approach over conventional methods.This approach eliminates the reliance on empirical parameters,such as the amount and rate of energy release during afterburning,thereby laying the foundation for understanding load evolution in more complex environments,such as ships,buildings,and underground tunnels.

文摘DNAN-based insensitive melt-cast explosives have been widely utilized in insensitive munition in recent years. When constrained DNAN-based melt-cast explosives are ignited under thermal stimulation, the base explosive exists in a molten liquid state, where high-temperature gases expand and react in the form of bubble clouds within the liquid explosive;this process is distinctly different from the dynamic crack propagation process observed in the case of solid explosives. In this study, a control model for the reaction evolution of burning-bubble clouds was established to describe the reaction process and quantify the reaction violence of DNAN-based melt-cast explosives, considering the size distribution and activation mechanism of the burning-bubble clouds. The feasibility of the model was verified through experimental results. The results revealed that under geometrically similar conditions, with identical confinement strength and aspect ratio, larger charge structures led to extended initial gas flow and surface burning processes, resulting in greater reaction equivalence and violence at the casing fracture.Under constant charge volume and size, a stronger casing confinement accelerated self-enhanced burning, increasing the internal pressure, reaction degree, and reaction violence. Under a constant casing thickness and radius, higher aspect ratios led to a greater reaction violence at the casing fracture.Moreover, under a constant charge volume and casing thickness, higher aspect ratios resulted in a higher internal pressure, increased reaction degree, and greater reaction violence at the casing fracture. Further,larger ullage volumes extended the reaction evolution time and increased the reaction violence under constant casing dimensions. Through a matching design of the opening threshold of the pressure relief holes and the relief structure area, a stable burning reaction could be maintained until completion,thereby achieving a control of the reaction violence. The proposed model could effectively reflect the effects of the intrinsic burning rate, casing confinement strength, charge size, ullage volume, and pressure relief structure on the reaction evolution process and reaction violence, providing a theoretical method for the thermal safety design and reaction violence evaluation of melt-cast explosives.

文摘The new CL-20(hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane)type aluminized explosives in the overdrive detonation(ODD)conditions of the core problem is how to accurately represent the state of the overdrive detonation products.To this end,this paper is based on the impedance matching method to test the ODD conditions of CL-20 type aluminium explosive particle velocity.Calculated the interfacial pressure of the shock wave in different media.Determined the characteristic parameters of the reaction zone of the detonation of CL-20 aluminized explosives.Calibrated the parameters of the JoneseWilkinseLee(JWL)+γ equation for the detonation products(DPs).Revealed the effect of different DPs equation of state(EOS)on the Hugoniot pressure of ODD.The results indicate that when the content of aluminum powder ranges from 0%to 30%,the duration of the ODD reaction zone and the width of the detonation reaction zone of the CL-20-based aluminized explosive are directly proportional to the content of aluminum powder.The width of the detonation reaction zone is increased by 1.97 times to 2.7 times compared to that of the reaction zone without the addition of aluminum powder.However,the energy release efficiency of the detonation reaction zone is inversely proportional to the content of aluminum powder.When the aluminum powder content was held constant,the incorporation of AP caused a 25%reduction in the energy release efficiency of the detonation reaction zone.Compared with existing ODD state equations,the JWL +γ equation is superior in calibrating overpressure Hugoniot data and the isentropic expansion in the C-J state.The deviation between calculated pressure results and experimental measurements is within 6%.

文摘Because of the challenge of compounding lightweight,high-strength Ti/Al alloys due to their considerable disparity in properties,Al 6063 as intermediate layer was proposed to fabricate TC4/Al 6063/Al 7075 three-layer composite plate by explosive welding.The microscopic properties of each bonding interface were elucidated through field emission scanning electron microscope and electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD).A methodology combining finite element method-smoothed particle hydrodynamics(FEM-SPH)and molecular dynamics(MD)was proposed for the analysis of the forming and evolution characteristics of explosive welding interfaces at multi-scale.The results demonstrate that the bonding interface morphologies of TC4/Al 6063 and Al 6063/Al 7075 exhibit a flat and wavy configuration,without discernible defects or cracks.The phenomenon of grain refinement is observed in the vicinity of the two bonding interfaces.Furthermore,the degree of plastic deformation of TC4 and Al 7075 is more pronounced than that of Al 6063 in the intermediate layer.The interface morphology characteristics obtained by FEM-SPH simulation exhibit a high degree of similarity to the experimental results.MD simulations reveal that the diffusion of interfacial elements predominantly occurs during the unloading phase,and the simulated thickness of interfacial diffusion aligns well with experimental outcomes.The introduction of intermediate layer in the explosive welding process can effectively produce high-quality titanium/aluminum alloy composite plates.Furthermore,this approach offers a multi-scale simulation strategy for the study of explosive welding bonding interfaces.

文摘High-performance pure nickel N6/steel 45#composite plate(N6/45#)was prepared using explosive welding technique.The microstructure of the interface and nearby regions was characterized and analyzed by optical microscope,scanning electron microscope,electron backscatter diffraction,and mechanical property testing,and the microstructural features and mechanical properties of the explosive welding interface were explored.The results show that along the direction of explosive welding,the pure nickel N6/steel 45#composite plate interface gradually evolves from a flat bond to a typical wavy bond.The grains at the crests and troughs exhibit high heterogeneity,and the closer to the interface,the finer the grains.Recrystallization and low-stress deformation bands are formed at the bonding interface.Nanoindentation tests reveal that plastic deformation occurs in the interfacial bonding zone,and the nanohardness values in the crest regions are higher than that in the trough regions.The tensile strength of the N6/45#interface is 599.8 MPa,with an average shear strength of 326.3 MPa.No separation phenomenon is observed between N6 and 45#after the bending test.

文摘Accurate characterization of three-dimensional burning crack propagation remains pivotal yet challenging for energetic material safety,as conventional diagnostics and models inadequately resolve coupled crack-pressure dynamics in confined explosives.This study combines a novel spherical confinement system(with/without sapphire windows)with synchronized high-speed imaging and 3D reconstruction to overcome optical limitations in opaque explosives.Experimental analysis of centrally ignited HMX-based PBX-1 reveals:(1)burning cracks propagate radially with equatorial acceleration and polar deceleration,(2)systematic formation of 3–4 dominant crack branches across geometries,and(3)pressure evolution exhibiting gradual accumulation(subsurface cracking)followed by exponential growth(surface burn-through),with decay governed by cavity expansion.Building on Hill's framework,we develop a model incorporating cavity volume and fracture toughness criteria,validated against PBX explosive(95%HMX-based)experiments.The model demonstrates improved prediction of pressure trends compared to prior approaches,particularly in resolving laminar-phase accumulation and crackinduced surge transitions.Results establish structural cavity volume as a critical modulator of measured pressure and reveal direction-dependent crack kinematics as fundamental features of constrained combustion.This work provides experimentally validated insights into mechanisms of reaction pressure development and burning cracks pathways during constrained PBX explosive combustion.

文摘Aromatic nitro compounds present substantial health and environmental concerns due to their toxic nature and potential explosive properties.Consequently,the development of host–vip molecular recognition systems for these compounds serves a dual-purpose:enabling the fabrication of high-performance sensors for detection and guiding the design of efficient adsorbents for environmental remediation.This study investigated the host–vip recognition behavior of perethylated pillar[n]arenes toward two aromatic nitro molecules,1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene and picric acid.Various techniques including^(1)H NMR,2D NOESY NMR,and UV-vis spectroscopy were employed to explore the binding behavior between pillararenes and aromatic nitro vips in solution.Moreover,valuable single crystal structures were obtained to elucidate the distinct solid-state assembly behaviors of these vips with different pillararenes.The assembled solid-state supramolecular structures observed encompassed a 1:1 host–vip inclusion complex,an external binding complex,and an exo-wall tessellation complex.Furthermore,based on the findings from these systems,a pillararene-based test paper was developed for efficient picric acid detection,and the removal of picric acid from solution was also achieved using pillararenes powder.This research provides novel insights into the development of diverse host–vip systems toward hazardous compounds,offering potential applications in environmental protection and explosive detection domains.

文摘As a kind of high-efficiency explosive with compound destructive capability, the energy output law of thermobaric explosives has been receiving great attention. In order to investigate the effects of main components on the explosive characteristics of thermobaric explosives, various high explosives and oxidants were selected to formulate five different types of thermobaric explosive. Then they were tested in both open space and closed space respectively. Pressure measurement system, high-speed camera,infrared thermal imager and multispectral temperature measurement system were used for pressure,temperature and fireball recording. The effects of different components on the explosive characteristics of thermobaric explosive were analyzed. The results showed that in open space, the overpressure is dominated by the high explosives content in the formulation. The addition of the oxidants will decrease the explosion overpressure but will increase the duration and overall brightness of the fireball. While in closed space, the quasi-static pressure formed after the explosion is positively correlated with the temperature and gas production. In addition, it was found that the differences in shell constraints can also alter the afterburning reaction of thermobaric explosives, thus affecting their energy output characteristics. PVC shell constraint obviously increases the overpressure and makes the fireball burn more violently.

文摘Chemical inclusions significantly alter shock responses of crystalline explosives in macroscale gap experiments but their microscale dynamics origin remains unclear.Herein shock-induced energy localization,overall physical responses,and reactions in a-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane(a-RDX)crystal entrained various chemical inclusions were investigated by the multi-scale shock technique implemented in the reactive molecular dynamics method.Results indicated that energy localization and shock reaction were affected by the intrinsic factors within chemical inclusions,i.e.,phase states,chemical compositions,and concentrations.The atomic origin of chemical-inclusions effects on energy localization is dependent on the dynamics mechanism of interfacial molecules with free space volume,which includes homogeneous intermolecular compression,interfacial impact and shear,and void collapse and jet.As introducing various chemical inclusions,the initiation of those dynamics mechanisms triggers diverse decay rates of bulk RDX molecules and hereby impacts on growth speeds of final reactions.Adding chemical inclusions can reduce the effectiveness of the void during the shock impacting.Under the shockwave velocity of 9 km/s,the parent RDX decay rate in RDX entrained amorphous carbon decreases the most and is about one fourth of that in RDX with a vacuum void,and solid HMX and TATB inclusions are more reactive than amorphous carbon but less reactive than dry air or acetone inclusions.The lessdense shocking system denotes the greater increases in local temperature and stress,the faster energy liberation,and the earlier final reaction into equilibrium,revealing more pronounced responses to the present intense shockwave.The quantitative models associated with the relative system density(RD_(sys))were proposed for indicating energy-localization mechanisms and evaluating initiation safety in the shocked crystalline explosive.RD_(sys)is defined by the density ratio of defective RDX to perfect crystal after dynamics relaxation and reveals the global density characteristic in shocked systems filled with chemical inclusions.When RD_(sys)is below 0.9,local hydrodynamic jet initiated by void collapse dominates upon energy localization instead of interfacial impact.This study sheds light on novel insights for understanding the shock chemistry and physical-based atomic origin in crystalline explosives considering chemical-inclusions effects.

文摘Melt-cast explosives are the most widely used energetic materials in military composite explosives,researchers have been unremittingly exploring high-energy and insensitive melt-cast explosives.In this work,a series of dinitrophenyl-oxadiazole compounds were designed and prepared.These compounds have an ideal low melting point(80-97℃),good detonation performance(detonation velocity D=6455-6971 m/s,detonation pressure P=18-19 GPa)and extreme insensitive nature(impact sensitivity≥60 J,friction sensitivity>360 N).All these compounds were well characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance,fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,elemental analysis.Compounds 2,3 were unambiguously confirmed by X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis.As a result,their overall properties are superior to traditional melt-cast explosives trinitrotoluene(TNT)and dinitroanisole(DNAN)which may have excellent potential applications in insensitive melt-cast explosives.
文摘Insensitive explosive detonation has wide applications in compressing and driving inert materials,and thereby the interaction between detonation and inert materials has received more attention.In this paper,a two-dimensional numerical simulation based on the Euler multiphase flow framework is used to investigate the reflection behavior of the insensitive explosive detonation propagating around a cylinder.The results show that there is a critical incident angle,defined as transition angle for detonation propagating around the cylinder,below which the regular reflection(RR)on the cylinder surface is observed.When the incident angle is greater than the transition angle,RR changes to Mach reflection.This transition angle is larger than that obtained by polar curve theory and the change of incident angle is used to interpret above phenomenon.In addition,the influence of cylindrical radius and detonation reaction zone width on the reflection behavior is examined.As the cylindrical radius increases,the height of Mach stem increases while the transition angle decreases and gradually approaches the value in pole curve theory.Von Neumann reflection is observed when the reaction zone width is relatively small.This is because the energy release rate in the reaction zone is high for small reaction zone width,resulting in the formation of a series of compression waves near the cylindrical interface.

文摘Herein, the effect of fluoropolymer binders on the properties of polymer-bonded explosives(PBXs) was comprehensively investigated. To this end, fluorinated semi-interpenetrating polymer networks(semiIPNs) were prepared using different catalyst amounts(denoted as F23-CLF-30-D). The involved curing and phase separation processes were monitored using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, a haze meter and a rheometer. Curing rate constant and activation energy were calculated using a theoretical model and numerical method, respectively. Results revealed that owing to its co-continuous micro-phase separation structure, the F23-CLF-30-D3 semi-IPN exhibited considerably higher tensile strength and elongation at break than pure fluororubber F2314 and the F23-CLF-30-D0 semi-IPN because the phase separation and curing rates matched in the initial stage of curing.An arc Brazilian test revealed that F23-CLF-30-D-based composites used as mock materials for PBXs exhibited excellent mechanical performance and storage stability. Thus, the matched curing and phase separation rates play a crucial role during the fabrication of high-performance semi-IPNs;these factors can be feasibly controlled using an appropriate catalyst amount.

文摘Afterburning behind the detonation front of an aluminized explosive releases energy on the millisecond timescale,which prolong the release of detonation energy and the energy release at different stages also shows significant differences.However,at present,there are few effective methods for evaluating the energy release characteristics of the middle reaction stage of such explosives,which can have a duration of tens to hundreds of microseconds.The present work demonstrates an approach to assessing the midstage of an aluminized explosive detonation based on a water push test employing a high degree of confinement.In this method,the explosive is contained in a steel cylinder having one end closed that is installed at the bottom of a transparent water tank.Upon detonation,the gaseous products expand in one direction while forcing water ahead of them.The resulting underwater shock wave and the interface between the gas phase products and the water are tracked using an ultra-high-speed framing and streak camera.The shock wave velocity in water and the expansion work performed by the gaseous detonation products were calculated to assess the energy release characteristics of aluminized explosives such as CL-20 and RDX in the middle stage of the detonation reaction.During the middle stage of the detonation process of these aluminized explosives,the aluminum reaction reduced the attenuation of shock waves and increased the work performed by gas phase products.A higher aluminum content increased the energy output while the presence of oxidants slowed the energy release rate.This work demonstrates an effective means of evaluating the performance of aluminized explosives.

文摘This paper investigates the three-dimensional crack propagation and damage evolution process of metallic column shells under internal explosive loading.The calibration of four typical failure parameters for 40CrMnSiB steel was conducted through experiments and subsequently applied to simulations.The numerical simulation results employing the four failure criteria were compared with the differences and similarities observed in freeze-recovery tests and ultra-high-speed tests.This analysis addressed the critical issue of determining failure criteria for the fracture of a metal shell under internal explosive loads.Building upon this foundation,the damage parameter D_(c),linked to the cumulative crack density,was defined based on the evolution characteristics of a substantial number of cracks.The relationship between the damage parameter and crack velocity over time was established,and the influence of the internal central pressure on the damage parameter and crack velocity was investigated.Variations in the fracture modes were found under different failure criteria,with the principal strain failure criterion proving to be the most effective for simulating 3D crack propagation in a pure shear fracture mode.Through statistical analysis of the shell penetration fracture radius data,it was determined that the fracture radius remained essentially constant during the crack evolution process and could be considered a constant.The propagation velocity of axial cracks ranged between 5300 m/s and 12600 m/s,surpassing the Rayleigh wave velocity of the shell material and decreasing linearly with time.The increase in shell damage exhibited an initial rapid phase,followed by deceleration,demonstrating accelerated damage during the propagation stage of the blast wave and decelerated damage after the arrival of the rarefaction wave.This study provides an effective approach for investigating crack propagation and damage evolution.The derived crack propagation and damage evolution law serves as a valuable reference for the development of crack velocity theory and the construction of shell damage evolution modes.
