Abstract
A microstructure-based model considering the coupling between particle distribution, coated level of particles and binder-particle interface damage-debonding for highly-filled energetic composite materials (HECM) is developed to predict the macro-microscopic mechanical behavior of HECM. A coated parameter rescaling the initial volume fraction of particle relative to binder is imported to describe the significant effects of initially scarce additives on mechanical behavior of HECM. The macroscopic deformation of typical HMX and TATB-based high explosives under uniaxial strain are characterized by three distinct stages: elastic deformation (stage I), stress deterioration due to interface damage (stage II) and fracture (stage III). Parametric studies on microstructural features (particle size and volume fraction, coated level, modulus mismatch) and interface properties (elasticity, strength) underscore their profound influence on macroscopic behavior. Enhanced interface elasticity and strength improve elastic modulus and delay damage initiation, respectively. Smaller particles improve damage resistance, while larger particles dictate fracture dynamics. This research provides critical insights for tailoring HECM performance through microstructural design, interface engineering, and particle size optimization, ultimately advancing the development of robust HECMs with controlled mechanical responses.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
