ABSTRACT
In order to study the impact initiation process and mechanism of hypervelocity PTFE/Al composite structure reactive fragments on a shielded charge, first, an existing PTFE/Al reactive fragment hypervelocity collision experiment was numerically simulated using the SPH algorithm in ANSYS/AUTODYN 17.0 software. Then, the Lee-Tarver model was verified to describe the detonation reaction behavior and explosion damage effect of reactive materials. A numerical simulation analysis of the impact of two kinds of ultra-high-speed PTFE/Al composite-structure reactive fragments on a shielded charge was carried out using the SPH algorithm. These were steel-coated PTFE/Al and steel-semi-coated PTFE/Al fragments, and they were compared with the impact of steel fragments. The results indicate that the threshold velocities of the impact initiation of the two composite-structure reactive fragments on the shielded charge were both 2.6 km/s, while the threshold velocity of the steel fragment was 2.7 km/s. Under the threshold velocity condition, the two composite-structure reactive fragments increase the time and intensity of the compressed shock wave pulse in the explosive due to the impact energy release effect of the reactive materials, causing the shielded charge to detonate under the continuous long-term pulse loads. However, the mechanism of the steel fragment on the shielded charge belongs to the shock-detonation transition. The research results can provide scientific references for the design of hypervelocity reactive fragments and the study of their damage mechanism.
ABSTRACT
Pinaceae plants are widely distributed in the world, and the resources of pine leaves are abundant. In the extensive literature concerning Pinus species, there is much data on the composition and the content of essential oil of leaves. Still, a detailed comparative analysis of volatile terpenes and terpenoids between different species is missing. In this paper, headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to determine the volatile terpenes and terpenoids of typical Pinus species in China. A total of 46 volatile terpenes and terpenoids were identified, and 12 common compounds were found, which exhibited a great diversity in the leaves of Pinus species. According to the structures and properties of the compounds, all those compounds can be classified into four categories, namely monoterpenes, oxygenated terpenes, terpene esters, and sesquiterpenes. The results of principal component analysis and cluster analysis showed that the leaves of the six Pinus species could be divided into two groups. The species and contents of volatile terpenes and terpenoids in the leaves were quite different. The results not only provide a reference for the utilization of pine leaves resource, but also bring a broader vision on the biodiversity.
