Force Formulation

The US Air Force formulation designated as AFX 644 (based on TNT and NTO and also referred to as TNTO IV) is used for low-vulnerability General Purpose (GP) bomb. AFX-644 is a melt-cast, wax desensitized nitrotriazolone (NTO)-based explosive formulation which employs TNT as an energetic binder and aluminum powder to enhance blast performance. TNT, NTO, wax and A1 powder are mixed in proportions of 30,40,10 and 20% respectively and meets the United Nations ...

Additives acting on the pour point also modify the crystal size and, in addition, decrease the cohesive forces between crystals, allowing flow at lower temperatures. These additives are also copolymers containing vinyl esters, alkyl acrylates, or alkyl fumarates. In addition, formulations containing surfactants, such as the amides or fatty acid salts and long-chain dialkyl-amines, have an effect both on the cold filter plugging point and the pour point. 

Unfortunately, discretization methods with large step sizes applied to such problems tend to miss this additional force term [3]. Furthermore, even if the implicit midpoint method is applied to a formulation in local coordinates, similar problems occur [3]. Since the midpoint scheme and its variants (6) and (7) are basically identical in local coordinates, the same problem can be expected for the energy conserving method (6). To demonstrate this, let us consider the following modified model problem [13] ... 

The mathematical formulation of a typical molecular mechanics force field, which is also called the potential energy function (PEF), is shown in Eq. (18). Do not wony yet about the necessary mathematical expressions - they will be explained in detail in the following sections ... 

The raie gas atoms reveal through their deviation from ideal gas behavior that electrostatics alone cannot account for all non-bonded interactions, because all multipole moments are zero. Therefore, no dipole-dipole or dipole-induced dipole interactions are possible. Van der Waals first described the forces that give rise to such deviations from the expected behavior. This type of interaction between two atoms can be formulated by a Lennaid-Jones [12-6] function Eq. (27)). 

The majority of polymer flow processes are characterized as low Reynolds number Stokes (i.e. creeping) flow regimes. Therefore in the formulation of finite element models for polymeric flow systems the inertia terms in the equation of motion are usually neglected. In addition, highly viscous polymer flow systems are, in general, dominated by stress and pressure variations and in comparison the body forces acting upon them are small and can be safely ignored.

A researcher formulating a strategy for a particular company must determine what portion of the planned output will be sold by its sales force and whether distributors or manufacturers representatives might be beneficial. If it appears that a distributor or agent is needed, a separate evaluation of the capabihties of representative companies or individuals should be made.
