Abstract
Combustible cartridge cases are parts of modular charges used in modern artillery systems. Some types of combustible cartridge case materials have exhibited problems during pyrostatic measurements caused by their difficult ignition. This article explores the possibility of testing the combustible cartridge case material mixed with a propellant of known ballistic properties and then separating the influence of that propellant using methods of mathematical analysis. The aim of this work is to create methodology for closed vessel tests of combustible cartridge case material. Outcome involves the characterization of combustible cartridge case material ballistic properties, including its burn rate parameters. Calculations described in this paper could potentially be modified to be applicable to other cases of mixture of two propellants.
期刊介绍:
Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics (PEP) is an international, peer-reviewed journal containing Full Papers, Short Communications, critical Reviews, as well as details of forthcoming meetings and book reviews concerned with the research, development and production in relation to propellants, explosives, and pyrotechnics for all applications. Being the official journal of the International Pyrotechnics Society, PEP is a vital medium and the state-of-the-art forum for the exchange of science and technology in energetic materials. PEP is published 12 times a year.
PEP is devoted to advancing the science, technology and engineering elements in the storage and manipulation of chemical energy, specifically in propellants, explosives and pyrotechnics. Articles should provide scientific context, articulate impact, and be generally applicable to the energetic materials and wider scientific community. PEP is not a defense journal and does not feature the weaponization of materials and related systems or include information that would aid in the development or utilization of improvised explosive systems, e.g., synthesis routes to terrorist explosives.
