Analysis of the effect of mechanical loading on energetic materials by means of MRI
Abstract
Modern solid propellants are highly filled composite materials. The aging behavior of composite propellants is correlated with a change in mechanical properties. Background of the aging behavior of a composite propellant are micromechanical phenomena. Therefore, the understanding of micromechanical phenomena like matrix filler detachment and micromecanical deformation mechanism is the key to the understanding of aging behavior of composite propellants. In this paper is shown how micromechanical deformation phenomena can be observed by MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). This method can be used for the investigation of the displacement and deformation of the structure.
