Tensile and Compressive Mechanical Properties of Billet Pressed LX17-1 as a Function of Temperature and Strain Rate

摘要

This report documents mechanical property test data on LX 17-1, a plastic bonded explosive. The data was generated using equipment and test facilities situated at the High Explosives Test Facility (HEAF), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, California. The report contains uniaxial tensile and compressive stress-strain data derived from tests performed at several temperatures and strain-rates. In addition, the report contains a number of scanning electron microscope images that show some of the structural aspects of the subject material.
