measurement of the surface acoustic wave (SAW) velocity in an examined material for a …

The dependence of the components of the elastic stiffness tensors (or elastic constants) of
the organic explosives PETN, RDX, CL‐20, DAAF, FOX‐7, and HMX on hydrostatic pressure …

We report experimental and computational studies of shock wave dynamics in single-crystal
β-HMX on an ultrafast time scale. Here, a laser-based compression drive (∼ 1 ns in …

Molecular simulations of high energetic materials (HEMs) are limited by efficiency and
accuracy. Recently, neural network potential (NNP) models have achieved molecular …
