Rapid Activation of Non-Oriented Mechanophores via Shock Loading and Spallation
Brenden W. Hamilton, Alejandro Strachan
Mechanophores, stimuli-responsive molecules that respond chromatically to mechanochemical reactions, are important for understanding the coupling between mechanics and chemistry as…
Systematic Builder for All-Atom Simulations of Plastically Bonded Explosives
Chunyu Li, Brenden W Hamilton, Tongtong Shen +2
The shock to detonation transition in heterogeneous plastically bonded explosives is dominated by energy localization into hotspots that arise from the interaction of the shockwave…
The Potential Energy Hotspot: Effects from Impact Velocity, Defect Geometry, and Crystallographic Orientation
Brenden W. Hamilton, Matthew P. Kroonblawd, Alejandro Strachan
In energetic materials, the localization of energy into "hotspots" when a shock wave interacts with the material's microstructure is known to dictate the initiation of chemical rea…
A Hotspots Better Half: Non-Equilibrium Intra-Molecular Strain in Shock Physics
Brenden W. Hamilton, Matthew P. Kroonblawd, Chunyu Li +1
Shockwave interactions with material microstructure localizes energy into hotspots, which act as nucleation sites for complex processes such as phase transformations and chemical r…
