Shock and Reaction in Granular Bed of HMX-Aluminum Powders
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
Ignition and material response properties of aluminumized HMX heterogeneous explosive mixtures were explored in a series of planar impact experiments performed over multiple years. This work expands on previous work studying material response to impact in single-component HMX granular materials. The addition of nanometric aluminum is shown to affect the ignition sensitivity and growth to reaction from impact. The gas gun test results are presented here varying parameters of particle size, shock strength, and aluminum mass fraction.
