Popis:	The shock initiation properties of transferable insensitive explosive (TIE) formulations based on the solid high explosive, triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB), and the liquid explosive, bis(2-fluoro-2,2-dinitroethyl) formal (FEFO), are measured by wedge test, embedded particle velocity gauge and embedded manganin pressure gauge techniques and calculated using the Ignition and Growth reactive flow model. These extrudable formulations are demonstrated to be slightly more shock sensitive than the TATB/inert binder explosive, LX-17. However, the TIE formulations are much less sensitive than HMX-based explosives and still qualify as insensitive explosives in safety and hazard tests. The wedge tests showed a very steep dependence of run distance to detonation on the input shock pressure. Embedded gauge and reactive flow modeling results imply that shock initiation begins when a small amount of the solid TATB decomposes rapidly enough to heat the surrounding FEFO to decomposition temperature. The FEFO then ...
