Download or read book Reaction Mechanisms of Energetic Materials in the Condensed Phase: Long-term Aging, Munition Safety and Condensed-Phase Processes in Propellants and Explosives written by . This book was released on 2009. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The achievements of this five-year project are summarized. The primary achievement is the development of a new paradigm to investigate the complex reaction processes that control the behavior of heterogeneous energetic materials in munitions throughout their life cycle. It is known as Concepts Methods and Protocols for Reaction Hierarchy and Network Development (CoMPReHND). Results from the decomposition of a high-nitrogen compound, triaminoguanidinium-(5,5')azobitetrazolate (TAGzT) and its interaction with RDX illustrate its use and provide an explanation for increased burn rates of propellants with TAGzT. The report summarizes work on the decomposition of BDNPA/F and several HMX-based explosive formulations: PBX9501, LX-04, LX-10, LX-14 and EDC-37. The results on the HMX-based explosives suggest that Estane binder used in the PBX9501 and the LX-14 formulations may increase the rate of decomposition of HMX in these formulations compared to HMX by itself or in the other formulations. The report describes the development of the reaction modeling and kinetics (REMKIN) compiler and analysis tool, which provides a means to develop mathematical models of complex reaction processes. Finally, a report the JANNAF workshop on "R & D Required to Implement New Ingredients in Munitions" and the development of a new paradigm to develop EM is described.

Book Synopsis Energetic Materials and Munitions by : Adam Stewart Cumming
Download or read book Energetic Materials and Munitions written by Adam Stewart Cumming. This book was released on 2019-02-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides a hands-on approach to demilitarization and environmental aspects of energetic materials and munitions This book gives an overview of the environmental impact of the production, use, and cleanup of energetic materials and munitions. It provides scientists, engineers, environmental specialists, and users with the understanding of environmental issues for munitions and of the ways to improve design and manage potential risks. It covers the various aspects of how chemical properties influence fate, transport, and toxicity of new formulations and prescribes tools for reducing or alleviating environmental risks. In addition, it discusses pyrotechnics and the problem of dealing with munitions underwater. Chapters in Energetic Materials and Munitions: Life Cycle Management, Environmental Impact and Demilitarization look at demilitarization in general, as well as in the future. Topics covered include logistics, costs, and management; life cycle analysis and management; and greener munitions. Another introduces readers to the "One Health" approach in the design of sustainable munition compounds. Following that, readers are taught about land assessment for munitions-related contamination in military live-fire training. The book also examines the development and integration of environmental, safety, and occupational health information. -Brings together in one source expertise and in-depth information on the current and future state of how we handle the production, use, and demilitarization of explosives and weaponry -A handy reference for experienced practitioners, as well as for training young professionals in the field -Every chapter contains real-life examples and proposes future directions for the field Energetic Materials and Munitions: Life Cycle Management, Environmental Impact and Demilitarization is an important book for explosives specialists, pyrotechnicians, materials scientists, military authorities, safety officers, health officers, and chemical engineers.

Book Synopsis Advanced Energetic Materials by : National Research Council
Download or read book Advanced Energetic Materials written by National Research Council. This book was released on 2004-01-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced energetic materialsâ€"explosive fill and propellantsâ€"are a critical technology for national security. While several new promising concepts and formulations have emerged in recent years, the Department of Defense is concerned about the nation's ability to maintain and improve the knowledge base in this area. To assist in addressing these concerns, two offices within DOD asked the NRC to investigate and assess the scope and health of the U.S. R&D efforts in energetic materials. This report provides that assessment. It presents several findings about the current R&D effort and recommendations aimed at improving U.S. capabilities in developing new energetic materials technology. This study reviewed U.S. research and development in advanced energetics being conducted by DoD, the DoE national laboratories, industries, and academia, from a list provided by the sponsors. It also: (a) reviewed papers and technology assessments of non-U.S. work in advanced energetics, assessed important parameters, such as validity, viability, and the likelihood that each of these materials can be produced in quantity; (b) identified barriers to scale-up and production, and suggested technical approaches for addressing potential problems; and (c) suggested specific opportunities, strategies, and priorities for government sponsorship of technologies and manufacturing process development.

Book Synopsis Defense Industries by : Pelagio Castelo Branco
Download or read book Defense Industries written by Pelagio Castelo Branco. This book was released on 2007-10-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The state of the art in the area of security related civil science and technology concerning energetic materials and munitions is of pressing importance at the present time, because 10 years after the end of the cold war, in many countries in east and west, huge stockpiles of munitions still await destruction. The safety behavior of munitions and their energetic material is the determining factor for all precautionary measures for the protection of environment and population. The probability of a catastrophic reaction of munitions and their energetic components will be so more likely, the closer the munitions are to the end of their life time. Residues and undetected ordnance, recycling, destruction of ammunition and depletion or reuse of energetic materials will either cause more or less damage to environment. Scientific research and development have the aim to increase performance of munitions on one side and to improve safety in relation to unpredictable events on the other side. The impact on the environment by the production and normal use of munitions and their residues after use will acquire an increasing importance in environmental awareness. The excellent technical presentations were classified in five Groups, according to the technical programme. The "Introduction to the subject; Methods, tests and application; Insensitive and "green" munitions; Storage and transportation; and Demilitarisation and recycling" sessions, were closed by a final and general interesting discussion among participants.
