Detonation in multilayer explosives: Effects of characteristic length scale of mixing

News Article, April 10, 2023 • Predicting explosive performance at length scales near the minimum needed for a detonation to propagate is often a challenge—surrounding materials, non-ideal interfaces, sample geometry, and local microstructure variations can all significantly impact explosive output. For accurate predictions of performance, reactive burn models are needed that can capture the details around...

Elongated ring polymers get tied up in knots

News Article, October 13, 2022 • Many polymer liquids flow easily when stretched gently but become viscous and solid-like when stretched rapidly. This phenomenon, known as strain hardening, happens when the liquid is deformed so fast that individual polymer chains become elongated at the molecular scale. Understanding the physics of strain hardening is important for a range...
