Experiments are presented that explore the shock initiating layer dynamics in an insensitive high explosive.
The initiating layer thickness decreased with increasing PBX 9501 thickness for tests with PBX 9501 thicknesses larger than 1.0 mm.
Atom transfer radical polymerization of dimethylamino-ethyl methacrylate was initiated from the initiator layer, resulting in the formation of uniform polydimethylamino-ethyl methacrylate (PDMAEMA) brushes on the CNT surface.
Once initiated by layer V neurons, activity then propagates to other cortical layers.
Post-mortem analysis of the CS specimens revealed that fatigue cracks typically initiated from layer interface defects and subsequent crack propagation was influenced by the CS prior-particle boundaries.
Rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2), an insulator with reported k value of 80 125, is selected as the growth-initiating layer for graphene.
Shocks of sufficient strength generated an initiating layer, or region of delayed reaction (relative to typical PBX 9502 detonation reaction timescales) in the PBX 9502 immediately adjacent to the PBX 9501.
Further decreasing the PBX 9501 thickness to 0.5 mm resulted in detonation throughout both slabs, with no initiating layer due to the intersection of each explosive's thickness effect curve at this condition.
The seed ice crystal included an additional small prism step to initiate step layer growth and the entire seed was angled such that the primary prism face was approximately 4.3° with respect to the long axis.
Initiating layers exhibited particle velocity profiles characteristic of non-detonating shocks.
The actual communication between processes on end users is initiated in this layer.
