Modeling of Impact Energy Release of PTFE/Al Reactive Material

Many scholars have used experimental research methods to conduct extensive research on the impact energy release behavior of Polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)/Al reactive materials. However, in numerical simulation, PTFE/Al still lacks the calculation parameters of impact energy release behavior. In order to obtain the simulation parameters of PTFE/Al impact ignition, the Hill mixture law was used to calculate the material parameters of PTFE/Al (mass ratio 73.5/26.5), and according to the Hugoniot curve of PTFE/Al and the gamma state equation, the JWL equation of state of a PTFE/Al unreacted substance and reaction product was fitted with a genetic algorithm. According to the PTFE/Al impact energy release experiment, the parameters of the PTFE/Al chemical kinetic equation were determined, and the parameters of the trinomial reaction rate equation were fitted. The obtained parameters were used in the simulation calculation in LS-dyna to predict the damage of the aluminum target plate under the impact of the PTFE/Al reactive fragments.
