Molecular Modeling of the Sensitivities of Energetic Materials Mathieu Volume 22

Molecular Modeling of the Sensitivities of Energetic MaterialsAuthor(s): Didier Mathieu\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc, United States\nImprint: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc\nISBN-13: 9780128229712, 978-0128229712\nSynopsis\nMolecular Modeling of the Sensitivities of Energetic Materials, Volume 22 introduces experimental aspects, explores the relationships between sensitivity, molecular structure and crystal structure, discusses insights from numerical simulations, and highlights applications of these approaches to the design of new materials. Providing practical guidelines for implementing predictive models and their application to the search for new compounds, this book is an authoritative guide to an exciting field of research that warrants a computer-aided approach for the investigation and design of safe and powerful explosives or propellants. Much recent effort has been put into modeling sensitivities, with most work focusing on impact s.
