Atomistics-consistent models for multi-scale simulations of the thermo-mechanics of 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane (RDX) in moderate to strong shock regimes
Department of Mechanical Engineering
PRESENTATION: In this work, an atomistically informed continuum framework is developed to model shock-induced pore collapse and energy localization in energetic materials, with emphasis on RDX. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to extract thermophysical properties and constitutive response, enabling calibration of a modified rate-dependent Johnson–Cook (M–JC) strength model. The formulation is extended with a post-yield relaxation mechanism to...
