Environmental testing of solid chemical energetics. The micromorphological approach to mechanical stress and accelerated testing

It is a usual method to intensify simulated environmental influences for the purpose of accelerating test. In this paper the example of mechanical load simulation is used to demonstrate how knowledge of the behaviour of the material is necessary for an ingenious modelling and a rational increasing of test levels. Apart from the microscopic and macroscopic point of view, especially the so called "micromorphological" observation level is well suited to this purpose.
