Abstract:Incidents caused by fire and combat operations can heat energetic materials that may lead to thermal explosion and result in structural damage and casualty, thus understanding the response of energetic materials to thermal insults is crucial for the safety design and assessment of insensitive munitions. In the present work, cookoff characteristics of a new DNAN-based cast explosive ROL-1 are systematically analyzed. Small-scale slow cookoff experiments were performed and an overall reaction kinetic model inclu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
