Abstract

This study establishes a model for polymer-bonded explosives (PBX) using Digimat-FE. The model identifies the relationship between the material’s effective elastic modulus and the explosive particle volume fraction, shape and gradation, and porosity, as well as other factors. Further, finite element analysis of the stress distribution of the PBX composite material is performed, and the mathematical models between the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient, particle volume fraction, and ultrasonic frequency are established. Finally, an efficient ultrasonic nondestructive testing system is designed to determine the stress distribution and fine crack groups in the material. Experimental results indicate that the relative error of stress detection is within 15%, which meets the requirements of engineering applications.
