Abstract

A series of quasi-isentropic magnetic pulse compression experiments using the Sandia Z accelerator and DICE small pulser have provided new insights to the material behavior of various constituents typically used in energetic composites. In this study, a combination of forward and backward procedures with optimization methods is used to determine appropriate constitutive and EOS property data. Sensitivity analysis is performed to assess the uncertainties of the experimental measurements and the subsequent influences in determining material response. The data interrogation technique has been applied to a series of tests with ramp loading condition to 50 Kbar over duration of ∼500 ns for panel configurations containing explosive crystals (HMX and RDX), binders (Estane, C7-Teflon, Kel-F and THV) and composites (PBS9501, PBX9502, and Al/Teflon).
