Research on the influence of loading rate on the dynamic initiation fracture toughness of CMDB propellant by Jian Zheng, Xuan Wu, Zhengwei Sun, Zongtao Guo, Menglong Zhang, Xiong Chen

“…By comparing the results of quasi static and dynamic numerical simulations, it was found that dynamic fracture initiation toughness can be determined by time-to-fracture using the quasi-static theory. The numerical simulation results combined with the ZWT constitutive model agree well with the experimental results, indicating that ZWT constitutive model is suitable for numerical simulation calculation of propellant structural integrity under dynamic load, and provides a theoretical basis for propellant structural integrity analysis under dynamic load. …”
