Shock detonation, KDIE Values

Table VI. Exploding Foil Shock Detonation KDIE Values. Sample Fiver Plate Vel.(mm/usi Std Dev...

The shock—induced KDIE detonation of HMX and HMX-dg detects a KDIE as the difference between flyer plate velocity (V) needed to shock initiate normal HMX (Vh) and its deuterium labeled HMX- g analogue (Vd). The HMX-dg demonstrates a small but definitive positive KDIE (Vd/Vh > 1.00) where the rate-controlling mechanistic step of HMX-dg proceeds more slowly (lower kd) than that of HMX (higher kh). Thus, kh/kd has a proportional correlation to Vd/Vh because a larger flyer plate velocity (Vd) is needed to bring the overall slower kd value to the same value as kh (Table VI), and kh/kd tid/tih > ...
