Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulation was applied to investigate the mechanical properties of β-octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (β-HMX)-based polymer-bonded explosive (PBX) with F2311 fluorine rubber (It is produced by copolymerization of vinylidene difluoride and chlorotrifluoroethylene in the molar ratio 1 over 1). The elastic constants for β-HMX crystal and the HMX-based PBX were computed using a static elastic constant analysis method, and the engineering moduli and Poisson ratios were derived by Reuss average. Based on the value of Cauchy pressure and the ratio of bulk modulus to shear modulus, it is indicated that the ductibility of crystalline HMX can be effectively improved by blending the polymer in a small amount. © 2008 SIOC, CAS, & Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
