Fragmentation and reaction of structural energetic materials
Structural energetic materials (SEM) are a class of multicomponent materials which may react under various conditions to release energy. Fragmentation and impact induced reaction are not well characterized phenomena in SEMs. The structural energetic systems under consideration here combine aluminum …

Enhancing reactivity of aluminum-based structural energetic materials
… energy density and total energy output. These materials are also becoming useful in warhead casings compared to traditional inert materials because of their ability to enhance weapon output such as peak blast pressure and blast impulse. Aluminum is a good candidate for such enhanced blast …

Improving reactivity of aluminum-based structural energetic materials
… methods to improve reactivity in aluminum based structural energetic materials. This will be done by testing different alloy structures and various material inserts in structured explosive experiments. This study will also utilize heavy end confinement for all tests while also taking multiple …

Optimization of enhancements to aluminum-based structural energetic materials
… are fabricated and tested to verify that structural properties of the aluminum are not compromised by the optimizations. Electron microscopy is used to examine case structure after the manufacturing, which was done here at the UIUC.

The effects of case mass to charge mass ratio on aluminum-based structural energetic materials
… accelerate them to high speeds. Alternative case materials are being investigated to have a cased explosive that has similar or greater fragmentation damage while also contributing to the energy of the initial blast. Tests were conducted on three different aluminum based reactive materials and a …
