A molecular dynamics simulation study of elastic properties of HMX
TL;DR: In this article, the isothermal elastic properties for β-, α-, and δ-octahydro-1,3,5,7,7-tetranitro- 1, 3, 5, 7, 7 -tetrazocine (HMX) polymorphs were calculated at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and the elastic tensor was compared to one based on a fit to sound speed data yielding reasonably good agreement.
Scaling the response of circular plates subjected to large and close-range spherical explosions. Part I: Air-blast loading
TL;DR: In this article, the scaling of the dynamic response of clamped circular plates subjected to close-range and large spherical blast loadings was investigated, and a good agreement between numerical simulation predictions and test results was obtained.

Thermal decomposition models for HMX-based plastic bonded explosives
Craig M. Tarver,T.D. Tran +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a global multistep chemical kinetic model for the thermal decomposition of octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro (HMX)-based plastic bonded explosives (PBXs) using endothermic or exothermic binders is developed for calculation of the times to thermal explosion as functions of heating rate and geometry in the Chemical TOPAZ heat-transfer computer code.

A high density pyrazolo-triazine explosive (PTX)
TL;DR: The fused-ring heterocycle 4-amino-3,7,8-trinitropyrazolo-[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine (PTX) has promising explosive properties.
Development of a continuum damage model for blasting analysis
Liqing Liu,P.D. Katsabanis +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a constitutive model for predicting rock damage due to explosive loading and the consequent fragment size distribution, assuming that the rock medium is an isotropic, continuous and homogeneous material with pre-existing micro cracks.
