Abstract

This work applies a ramped, quasi-isentropic compression loading technique (ICE) to investigate the mechanical behavior of polymers that are often used in energetic composites. The focus of this effort is the determination of appropriate constitutive and EOS property data at high stress states and moderate strain rates that is needed for detailed mesoscale modeling. Several thicknesses of samples were subjected to a ramp load of ∼45 Kbar over 500 ns duration using the Sandia Z-machine. Profiles of transmitted ramp waves were measured at window interfaces using conventional VISAR. Shock physics analysis is then used to determine the nonlinear material response of the binder materials.
