Abstract

A new pore collapse model, in which the effect of the binder in Plastic Bonded Explosives (PBX) is taken into account, is developed and integrated into the so-called hot-spot ignition model of shocked explosives. A two-dimensional hydrocode DYNA2D is used to simulate the shock initiation of PBX, with a reaction rate model consisting of a hot-spot ignition term, a slow-burning term at low pressure and a high-pressure reaction term. The numerical results show that the model can successfully describe the effects of the strength and the content of the binder, particle size and porosity of explosives on the shock initiation.
