Temperature and strain rate effects on the mechanical properties of a polymer-bonded explosive

Abstract: Abstract. The aim of the research reported here was to investigate the strain rate and temperature sensitivity of Rowanex 1100 Type 1A, a polymer-bonded explosive (PBX). The stress supported by this PBX at high rates of deformation (1750 ± 225 s −1 ) was found to be about an order of magnitude greater than that supported at low rates (0.015 s −1 ). Temperature was also found to have a large effect, with the strength of the material decreasing exponentially with temperature over the range studied (-60 to +60• C… Show more

“…The relationship among flow stress, strain and temperature of the four PTFE/Al/W materials at a strain rate of 4000 s À 1 are shown in Figure 16. The flow stress decreases with increasing temperature, and it is common in the polymer-based composites [26][27], which indicates the thermal softening effect plays an important role in the Johnson-Cook constitutive modeling.…”
