Mechanical Characteristics of an Explosive in the Temperature Range 20–100°C

Abstract

This paper presents the results of mechanical tests of specimens of the explosive under study. Stress–strain curves and Poisson’s ratio versus strain curves at a temperature of 20, 60, 80, 100°C are plotted. Temperature dependences of the mechanical characteristics of the explosive are obtained. The rigidity, strength, and deformability of the explosive are shown to decrease with increasing temperature.
