Possibility of Initiating an Explosion of Condensed Energetic Materials by Mechanical Activation of Nucleation Processes upon Impact

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

The effect of mechanical loads occurring upon impact on the frequency of homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation and the rate of thermal decomposition of energetic condensed materials under deformation laws that correspond to impact tests is considered. Examples of the calculations of the main parameters of these processes are given.
