Abstract:

This final report consists of six chapters 1 An introduction to the PCS Fracture and Shock Physics Group PCS FSP and some preliminary experiments on PBXs pp. 3-46 2 The effect of particle size and temperature on the high strain rate properties of an APHTPB PBX pp. 47-55 3 Developments in Hopkinson bar instrumentation pp. 56-74 4 Visits of Clive R. Siviour to Eglin Airforce Base and studies of impact-induced solid-state phase change in HMX pp. 75-77 5 High rate mechanical properties of PBXs pp. 78-102 6 Optical techniques pp. 103-160. Also in Appendix 2 there is a list of the papers published by the PCS FSP Group and one report from Eglin AFB during the duration of this contract 2003-2005. Most of these documents are available in pdf format.
