Abstract

A dislocation-density based crystalline plasticity and specialized finite-element formulations were used to study the behavior of energetic crystalline aggregates. The energetic crystalline material studied was RDX (cyclotrimethylene trinitramine) with a polymer binder and different void porosities. The aggregate was subjected to different dynamic pressures, and the analyses indicate that maximum temperature increases, constrained dislocation densities, and plastic strain accumulations occurred around the void peripheries, which affected overall deformation behavior. These regions of extreme temperature rise and thermal decomposition can result in hot spot formation.
