Uniaxial compression of TNT and comp-B at strain rates of 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, and 100.0 /s⁻¹ /

Two lots of TNT and Comp-B explosives were tested in uniaxial compression at strain rates of 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, and 100.0/s. The materials were tested at 21 deg. C to an end strain of 80%. The stress at failure, strain at failure, compressive modulus, failure modulus, incremental energy density, and th...
