Title: Plane impact response of PBX 9501 below 2 GPA

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/334337· OSTI ID:334337

The plane impact response of PBX 9501 was measured below 2 GPa using a light-gas gun facility. Time-resolved wave profiles were obtained in a state of uniaxial strain for impact stresses between 0.3 to 1.2 GPa. The dynamic strength of PBX 9501 was measured at high strain rates in both compression and tension. The Hugoniot equation of state was measured.
