Three-stage compaction mechanism of energetic material particles revealed by atomistic simulations
Plastic-bonded explosives derive their performance and safety in part from the mesoscale mechanics of particle contacts formed during pressing. Using large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of cyclotrimethylene trinitramine particle assemblies, this study examines compaction, heating, and post-unloading retained sta...
