   Presentation Materials | 27 Jul 2017 | Contributor(s):: Rachel Katherine Kohler, Camilo Alberto Duarte, Marisol Koslowski

   Accidental mishandling of explosive materials leads to thousands of injuries in the US every year. Understanding the mechanisms behind the detonation process is crucial to prevent such accidents. In polymer-bonded explosives (PBX), high-frequency mechanical excitation generates thermal energy and...
