【 摘 要 】

Abstract For energetic crystals such as HMX, the sensitivity of the material to shock, the possibility of initiation, and the subsequent reaction is known to be controlled by processes occurring at the crystal level. The anisotropic nature of β-HMX can be critical in determining the performance of HMX based polymer bonded explosives, which are widely used across multiple industries as propellant or explosives. In this work, we experimentally obtain constitutive parameters for characterizing the response of multiple crystalline planes of β-HMX crystals to external loading. Nanoindentation and small-scale dynamic impact experiments were performed on multiple planes of β-HMX crystals to comparatively measure the indentation moduli in multiple orientation directions. Anisotropic material behavior, involving constitutive elastic and non-elastic parameters, was measured and studied. Findings regarding material properties for the (100), (010), (001), {110}, and {011} planes of β-HMX are presented and compared with literature data.
