This book uses experimental and computational methods to
rationalize and predict for the first time the relative impact
sensitivities of a range of energetic materials. Using knowledge of
crystal structures, vibrational properties, energy-transfer
mechanisms, and experimentally measured sensitivities, it describes
a model that leads to excellent correlation with experimental
results in all cases. As such, the book paves the way for a new,
fully ab initio approach for the design of safer energetic
materials based solely on knowledge of their solid-state
structures. Energetic materials (explosives, propellants, gas
generators, and pyrotechnics) are defined as materials that release
heat and/or gaseous products at a high rate upon stimulus by heat,
impact, shock, sparks, etc. They have widespread military and
civilian uses, including munitions, mining, quarrying, demolition,
emergency signaling, automotive safety, and space exploration. One
of their most important properties is sensitivity to accidental
initiation during manufacture, transport, storage, and operation,
which has important implications for their safe use.
