Overdriven-detonation and sound-speed measurements in PBX-9501 and the {open_quote}{open_quote}thermodynamic{close_quote}{close_quote} Chapman{endash}Jouguet pressure
- Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico 87545 (United States)
Sound speeds, at pressure, and the overdriven Hugoniot were measured for the plastic-bonded explosive PBX-9501. The two curves intersect at the Chapman{endash}Jouguet (CJ) state because of the sonic condition {ital D}={ital c}+{ital u}. This permitted a novel determination of the {open_quote}{open_quote}thermodynamic{close_quote}{close_quote} CJ pressure. A value of 34.8{plus_minus}0.3 GPa was obtained. The data permit a direct experimental determination of the isentropic gamma, {gamma}{sub {ital S}}={minus}({partial_derivative}ln{ital P}/{partial_derivative}ln{ital V}){sub {ital S}}, and the Gr{umlt u}neisen parameter, {gamma}={ital V}({partial_derivative}{ital P}/{partial_derivative}{ital E}){sub {ital V}}, in the overdriven pressure range. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
