Characterization and Calculation of Detonation Parameters of 2,6-Diamino-3,5-dinitropyrazine-1-oxide by BKW Codes

Abstract

2,6-Diamino-3,5-dinitropyrazine-1-oxide (LLM-105) is a new molecules which shows performance and insensitivity between those of HMX and TATB. Its calculated energy content is about 85 % that of HMX and 15 % more than that of TATB. It is thermally stable, insensitive to shock, spark and friction and has impact insensitivity level approaching that of TATB. These combined properties make it a realistic high performance IHE material; attractive for applications that require moderate performance and insensitivity. In this article, the detonation parameters by BKW codes has been calculated and compared with the results of BKW for TATB, TNT, LLM-105, HMX.
