Conclusions
HE (PETN,HMX,RDX, and TATB) sensitivity is tested by Flyer Plate impact MD simulations with the ReaxFF. At constant compression/expansion ratios, degree of completion for impact induced reactions increases in this order: TATB<PETN<HMX<RDX. Among HMX at different phases, -HMX is the most sensitive, which agrees with experimental results. The flyer plate impact simulations are being applied to other HEs, e.g. CL20, DMN, etc.
