Strengthening of PBX Perforated Plate Based on Polymer Coating

Abstract:

Perforated structure is the mechanical weak link of polymer-bonded explosive (PBX). Improving its mechanical property may promote the reliability and effectiveness of weapon system. In this study, strengthening of the perforated PBX plate is conducted by employing surface coating. Digital image correlation (DIC) analysis results suggest that the regional applied epoxy coating layer is able to improve the mechanical properties of the plate. By confining the deformation and releasing the stress concentration around the perforation, the coating layer enhances the load carrying ability and energy dissipation capacity of the plate significantly. This investigation may provide a convenient and effective structure modification method for energetic material, and at the same time, lay foundation to the performance optimization of weapon system.
