Precise measurement of the inner structural strain of polymer bonded explosive (PBXs) granules during compression molding is highly desirable in order to investigate the inner stress distribution field and its underlying generation mechanism, with the aim of improving the stress distribution uniformity. In this contribution, TATB-based (1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene) PBX granules were formulated and the stress-strain state of the PBX granules during the warm molding process was analyzed. Strain markers were implanted at different locations and the deformation characteristics and regularity of the embedded spherical strain markers were obtained by X-ray micro-tomography. Thus the local strain states at different locations could be obtained, and the local stress state could be deduced. The results showed that axisymmetric deformation occurred in all of the strain markers, where the flat strain ellipsoids were mainly compressed uni-axially. In the central region, the stress was mainly in an axial direction, and the shear force was small. Not only axial stresses, but also large shear stresses in the surrounding region of the cylindrical grains were present. The stress gradient in the central region was greater than that in the surrounding region. The stress was greater in the surrounding region because this region was squeezed by the mold. The maximum strain degree was 44.8% larger than the minimum strain degree. The local stress increment in each region was quantified. The stress increments of the three axes were in the range 14.2-19.5 MPa. This study examined the feasibility of evaluating the inner stress–strain state of PBX granules in a quantitative manner, which is significant in determining the inner strain and stress distribution in PBX granules during the molding process.

Recent work in our laboratory has established a time-temperature superposition law for a PBX. This was achieved by performing uniaxial compression testing over a wide range of strain rates and temperatures along with Differential Thermal Mechanical Analysis (DMTA). The classic WLF (Williams, Landel, Ferry) transform was found not to fit the shift factor needed to align the data whereas a simple log-linear fit did. The thermal properties (diffusivity, conductivity, heat capacity) of a PBX have been measured three different ways and found to agree (within experimental error) with the classic equation relating these three parameters. This gives us confidence that, for example, hot-spot ignition mechanisms of this class of energetic materials can be accurately modelled using their measured thermal properties. A modular instrumented testing facility has been designed and built to simulate and control the conditions experienced by novel heavy-metal-free (green) primers contained within ammunition. Physical data obtained from the facility, when compared with data from live fire tests, will give a greater understanding of which characteristics are important to functionality. As explosives are granular materials, the techniques developed for studying such materials are being applied to determine the effect of particle size distribution and shape on sensitivity.
