Detonation Reaction

The detonation products of high explosives are dependent on pressure and also on the confinement under which the detonation reaction proceeds. To determine the detonation products of less sensitive high explosives such as trinitrotoluene/ nitroguanidine and polymer bonded explosive charges with polybutadiene binder containing cyclotrimethylene trinitramine, together with or without aluminium, experiments have been performed in a stainless steel chamber of a volume of 1.5 m 3 . These experiments were done under different ambient argon pressures up to 0.3 MPa. Gaseous reaction products were analysed by mass spectrometry and chemiluminescence analysis. Solid reaction products were analysed for measuring the carbon residue or unreacted aluminium. It was found that the detonation products were highly dependent on the ambient pressure of argon. The most important changes of the reaction products and therefore also of the energy output were found between vacuum and atmospheric pressure of argon. With increasing pressure, H 2 and CO decrease and CO 2 , H 2 , C 8 , NH 3 , HCN and CH 4 increase together with the reaction enthalpy. By analysing the physical structure of the carbon residue, diamonds have been observed between 4 and 7 nm in diameter.

Contemporary research in the field of explosive applications implies utilization of hydrocode simulations. Validity of these simulations strongly depends on parameters used in the equation of state for high explosives considered. A new analytical model for determination of Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL) equation of state parameters based on the cylinder test is proposed. The model relies on analysis of the metal cylinder expansion by detonation products. Available cylinder test data for five high explosives are used for the calculation of JWL parameters. Good agreement between results of the model and the literature data is observed, justifying the suggested analytical approach. Numerical finite element model of the cylinder test is created in Abaqus in order to validate the proposed model. Using the analytical model results as the input, it was shown that numerical simulation of the cylinder test accurately reproduces experimental results for all considered high explosives. Therefore, both the analytical method for calculation of JWL equation of state parameters and numerical Abaqus model of the cylinder test are validated.
