Abstract

The elastic-plastic shock wave profiles in cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine molecular crystals were investigated. The study was carried out for three orientations that include {110}, {011} and {010}. The laser interferometry technique was used to measure the elastic-plastic shock response. An elastic precursor decay, typical of a stress relaxing material was observed. The amount of precursor decay with propagation distance and stress relaxation behind the elastic shock was found to vary among the orientations.
