Safe and effective high explosives are critical to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's (LLNL) mission of stockpile stewardship. It is relatively simple to study the composition of such material ...

Emulsion explosive is one of the most widely used industrial explosives 1. Site mixed emulsion explosive has become a popular development direction in the civil blasting industry due to its ...

An analytical model of condensed explosives under slow cook-off conditions was established based on the superposition principle and Sturm–Liouville method. The analytical model can quickly and ...

TATB (1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene) is an important explosive compound because of its extensive use in munitions and worldwide weapons systems. Despite its importance, researchers have been ...

Using nanometer scale analysis techniques and quantities too small to explode, researchers have mapped the temperature and length-sale factors that make energetic materials -- otherwise known as ...

As a new explosive is developed, it undergoes rigorous testing designed to help scientists learn more about it. These tests help researchers address several key questions, but none more important than ...
