OSTI ID:110725
We have measured the stress/strain behavior of PBX 9501, Mock 900-21 and two new mocks consisting of monoclinic granular sugar embedded in (1) a BDNPA-F/estane binder (a 9501 material mock; a hard organic crystal embedded in a plastic) and (2) neat estane (an LX-14 mock) at strain rates from 10{sup -3} to 10{sup -1}, at two L/D`s and at two temperatures (25 and 60 C). We find that the compressive strength falls with increasing temperature and rises with increasing strain rate. We also find that the new 9501 sugar mock most closely resembles the behavior of the 9501 explosive and differences may be attributable to the different ages of the estane binder used.
