Abstract

A simple extension of a conventional two-phase continuum model of Deflagration-to-Detonation Transition (DDT) in energetic granular material is given to account for energy dissipation induced by quasi-static compaction. To this end, the conventional model equations are supplemented by a relaxation equation that accounts for irreversible changes in solid volume fraction due to intergranular friction, plastic deformation of granules, and granule fracture. The proposed model, which is consistent with the Second Law of Thermodynamics for a two-phase mixture, is demonstrated by applying it to the quasi-static compaction of granular HMX. The model predicts results commensurate with experimental data including stress relaxation and substantial dissipation; such phenomena have not been previously accounted for by two-phase DDT models. {copyright} {ital 1998 American Institute of Physics.}

Modeling energy dissipation induced by quasi-static compaction of granular HMX

Conference Gonthier, K A ; Menikoff, R ; Son, S F ; ...

A simple extension of a conventional two-phase (inert gas and reactive solid) continuum model of Deflagration-to-Detonation Transition (DDT) in energetic granular material is given to account for energy dissipation induced by quasi-static compaction. To this end, the conventional model equations,, valid in the limit of negligible gas phase effects, are supplemented by a relaxation equation governing irreversible changes in solid volume fraction due to intergranular friction, plastic deformation of granules, and granule fracture. The proposed model constitutes a non-strictly hyperbolic system of equations, and is consistent with the Second Law of Thermodynamics for a two-phase mixture. The model predicts stressmore »« less

Modeling compaction-induced energy dissipation of granular HMX

Conference Gonthier, K A ; Menikoff, R ; Son, S F ; ...

A thermodynamically consistent model is developed for the compaction of granular solids. The model is an extension of the single phase limit of two-phase continuum models used to describe Deflagration-to-Detonation Transition (DDT) experiments. The focus is on the energetics and dissipation of the compaction process. Changes in volume fraction are partitioned into reversible and irreversible components. Unlike conventional DDT models, the model is applicable from the quasi-static to dynamic compaction regimes for elastic, plastic, or brittle materials. When applied to the compaction of granular HMX (a brittle material), the model predicts results commensurate with experiments including stress relaxation, hysteresis, andmore »« less

Theory for deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT) in granular explosives

Technical Report Baer, M R ; Nunziato, J W

In this report, we develop a two-phase mixture theory to describe the deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT) in porous granular explosives. The theory is based on the continuum theory of mixtures and is able to account for both the compressibility of each phase and the compaction of the granular bed. By requiring the model to satisfy the Second Law of Thermodynamics, specific expressions for the exchange of mass, momentum and energy are proposed which are consistent with previously published empirical models. The model is then applied to the problem of DDT in a pressed column of HMX. Numerical results, using the methodmore »« less
The deflagration-to-detonation transition in granular HMX

Conference McAfee, J M ; Asay, B ; Campbell, A W ; ...

The transition from deflagration to detonation in porous beds of explosive and propellant has received considerable attention both experimentally and theoretically. In many cases, the use of a hot-gas-producing igniter complicates the interpretation and subsequent modeling of experiments because considerable effort is required to account for the effect of the igniter gases on the granular bed. Hot-wire ignition is less intrusive; however, the ignition front is not planar. Thus the early events in these experiments cannot be approximated as one-dimensional. We have studied the deflagration-to-detonation behavior of granular HMX confined in steel tubes with x-radiography, light emission, stress gauges, andmore »« less

Compaction Waves in Granular HMX

Technical Report Kober, E ; Menikoff, R

Piston driven compaction waves in granular HMX are simulated with a two-dimensional continuum mechanics code in which individual grains are resolved. The constitutive properties of the grains are modeled with a hydrostatic pressure and a simple elastic-plastic model for the shear stress. Parameters are chosen to correspond to inert HMX. For a tightly packed random grain distribution (with initial porosity of 19%) we varied the piston velocity to obtain weak partly compacted waves and stronger fully compacted waves. The average stress and wave speed are compatible with the porous Hugoniot locus for uni- axial strain. However, the heterogeneities give risemore »« less
