Opis

Due to safety reasons, energetic materials are rarely studied at research facilities. Therefore, theoretical and empirical models are needed for studying the behavior of these materials. This book provides insight into the depth and breadth of theoretical and empirical models and experimental techniques being developed for energetic materials. It presents the latest research by US Department of Defense engineers and scientists, along with their academic and industrial research partners. Some of the topics and simulations discussed can be applied to other classes of chemical compounds, such as those used in the pharmaceutical industry.
