Mesoscale Predictions for the Dynamic Compaction of Explosively-Coated Aluminum Micro-Particles

Conventional granular explosives are widely used in aerospace and defense-related industries. Powdered metals are often mixed with high explosives to enhance detonation. The effectiveness of these mixtures is limited by the slow burning of the metal relative to the explosive and their sensitivity to...
