| Abstract | A structural reactive material (SRM) is made by consolidating a mixture of micro- or nanometric reactive metals and metal compounds to the theoretical maximum density (TMD). A SRM can thus possess a higher energy density, relying on various exothermic reactions, and higher mechanical strength and heat resistance than that of conventional CHNO explosives. Small scale studies of a SRM solid have made progresses specifically to explore it as an energy source for air blast through reaction of fine SRM fragments under explosive loading. These subscale studies comprised a large number of experiments, whereby explosives were encased in a thick-walled SRM solid cylindrical shell with diameters ranging from 40 mm to 100 mm and explosive masses from 100 g to 1.2 kg, using different formulations to provide a variety of detonation pressures and resulting in a SRM casing-to-explosive mass ratio up to M/C = 1.8 [1]. These studies laid the foundation for the next stage of developments, including basic SRM solid explosion characterization, material properties of a SRM solid, and its dynamic fine fragmentation mechanisms and fragment reaction mechanisms. |
