Preheating Sensitization of a TATB Composition Part Three: Sensitization for Various Stimuli, Interpretation and Conclusions

Preheating induced sensitization has been commonly studied in the frame of SDT but a complete analysis in terms of pyrotechnic safety needs to take into account other kinds of stimuli like “moderate” mechanical ones (crushing, drops…︁), new thermal fluxes or combined insults. We present the results...

Description
Summary:Preheating induced sensitization has been commonly studied in the frame of SDT but a complete analysis in terms of pyrotechnic safety needs to take into account other kinds of stimuli like “moderate” mechanical ones (crushing, drops…︁), new thermal fluxes or combined insults. We present the results of connected studies and propose sensitization mechanisms based on these data and on previous chemical and microstructure characterizations.
