On Detonation Diffraction in Condensed-Phase Explosives
… detonation shock dynamics (DSD) is evaluated for PBX-9502. Comparisons of detonation diffraction in PBX-9502 are made between experiment, multi-material simulations using the calibrated equation of state and reaction rate, and DSD simulations using the computed higher order relation for PBX-9502. …

Numerical Modelling of Detonation and Ignition of Condensed Phase Explosives
… and the comparatively ideal TATB based explosive PBX 9502. Furthermore, this thesis presents a novel methodology to use gauge data from shock initiation experiments to calculate values for the reaction rate. The methodology can be applied to determine rate law parameters without the use of …

Detonation modelling of non-ideal high explosives
… formulate a reactive burn model for the IHE PBX 9502. The model is designed to capture the fast and slow reaction stages inherent in PBX 9502 detonation using a two-stage reaction model. Different mixture closure conditions are examined, namely the classical pressure-temperature equilibrium …

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 …
