This paper presents our methodology for verification and validation (V&V) of models, coupled to quantification of risk and risk reduction, and the use of risk, quantified as a dollar value, in the value-engineering and decision trade-off process. We

Twenty large scale experiments were conducted to determine the levels of violence of thermal explosions produced by various confinement and heat flow conditions. Heavily confined cylinders of octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) and

A new gas gun capability designed for the velocity range of ~20-400 m/s was used to study the mechanisms of low-velocity impact ignition and reaction violence of explosive targets in safety studies. Hemispherical charges of the HMX-based explosive LX
