Impact initiation of reactive aluminized fluorinated acrylic nanocomposites
Abstract
The initiation of aluminized fluorinated acrylic (AlFA) nanocomposites during modified Taylor impact tests was investigated. Samples were impacted against a steel or sapphire anvil at a nominal velocity of 150 m/s. A framing camera was used to capture head-on and side-profile impact images for the sapphire window and steel plate rigid anvils, respectively. Correlations were drawn between both experimental setups to determine the initiation locations and reaction times. Reactions were found to initiate at an intermediate radius on the impact face of the pellet at a time near full compaction. From simulations, the highest strains and temperatures were found at radii similar to those observed in experiments at the time of ignition. Off-normal impacts produced higher localized straining and temperatures on one-half of the pellet. As a result, the copper projectile, used for delivery, was revealed to aid in a shear assisted reaction by helping to drive the pellet material outward as the projectile deformed radially.
