Instability of steady and quasi-steady detonations
… model calibrated for the high explosive PBX-9501. We study the behavior of detonations initialized with solutions of DSD as they expand radially. The various models and calibrations exhibit regimes of hydrodynamic stability, in which the detonation evolves slowly in time and agreement …

Energy localization and heat generation in composite energetic systems under high-frequency mechanical excitation
… a significant amount of heat within samples of PBX 9501 and representative inert mock materials. Surface temperature rises on the order of 10 °C were observed at certain frequencies over a range from 50 kHz to 40 MHz at thermal steady state conditions. The mechanical responses of these samples …

On the calibration of some ideal and non-ideal explosives
The initial portion of this work will expound a concise, albeit limited, introduction to energetic materials, from their background and the reasons they are studied to the modern developments used in the work of this thesis. Today there are several reason why these materials are studied. The …
