Title: Mechanical and thermomechanical properties of an LLM-105 based PBX high explosive with and without accelerated aging

Journal Article · · Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics

In this paper we present measurements and analysis on the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of the LLM-105 based plastic bonded high explosive RX-55-DQ. Specifically we present uni-axial compression, and thermal measurements (CTE and ratchet growth), and for some of the measurements we provide a comparison to measurements on TATB-based PBX 9502. We also present the same mechanical property measurements performed on RX-55-DQ samples that underwent accelerated aging.
