Numerical Simulations of Very Low Velocity Impacts and Ignition of an Explosive Confined by a Thin Case

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
A low‐speed impact (around one meter per second) of a metallic tip on an explosive confined by a thin plate is simulated. The heat due to friction between the tip and the plate and the one due to the deformation of the plate are not transfered to the ignited zone.

Modelling Rocket System Performance Parameters

open access: yesAcademy Journal of Science and Engineering, 2022
What distinguishes the rocket system from airbreathing engines is that the rocket carries its own propellants, fuel and oxidants.  The modern rocket was originally developed for ballistic missiles.

Characterization of Structure, Properties, and Energetic Performance of a 1:1 Ammonium Dinitramide‐3,4‐Diaminofurazan Cocrystal

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) and 3,4‐Diaminofurazan (DAF) form a 1:1 energetic cocrystal. We report its crystal structure and spectroscopic signature and evaluate thermal stability, decomposition behavior, hygroscopicity, and combustion properties. Propellant performance calculations benchmark the material against guanylurea dinitramide (GuDN) and ...

Characterization of Ultrafast Decomposition Dynamics in Nitrate Esters

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ignition of energetic materials initiates chemical reactions on atomic length scales within femtoseconds, making these reactions difficult to investigate experimentally. The technique of femtosecond time‐resolved mass spectrometry (FTRMS) can capture molecular rearrangement and bond‐breaking events in isolated molecules with sub‐50 femtosecond

A Discontinuous Galerkin–Finite Element Method for the Nonlinear Unsteady Burning Rate Responses of Solid Propellants

open access: yesAerospace
The unsteady combustion of solid propellants under oscillating environments is the key to understanding the combustion instability inside solid rocket motors. The discontinuous Galerkin–finite element method (DG-FEM) is introduced to provide an efficient
