Frictional Heating Measurements in PBX 9501
Abstract
Heating due to frictional processes is one of many proposed mechanisms for hot spot ignition in explosives during sub-shock, mechanical loading. Novel experiments were conducted to isolate this mechanism and measure the temperature rise due to frictional heating in PBX 9501. A rheometer was used to apply mechanical sliding loads at the interface between two explosive pellets with a controlled axial load, and the resulting coefficient of friction of the material sliding against itself and te
