Shock characterization of explosive materials. Volume 2. 5-cyanotetrazolatopentaamine-cobalt(III) perchlorate (CP). Final report
The results of an experimental program to generate dynamic mechanical properties data for an unreacted porous explosive material are discussed and the data presented. Stress-particle velocity Hugoniot data were experimentally determined for 5-cyanotetrazolatopentaamine-cobalt(III) perchlorate (CP) using flat plate impact techniques. The CP samples were fabricated to the desired bulk sample density and size using a pressing technique. Samples with nominal densities of 1.47 and 1.66 g/cm/sup 3/ were investigated. The Hugoniot data for both sample densities showed essentially the same compaction behavior at stress levels above 5 kbar. The stress-time data showed major stress increases following impact, indicating initiation of a lower order chemical reaction. A constant high amplitude stress plateau was achieved after impact in a number of the experiments. These data provide both shock initiation and reaction rate information for CP.
