High-fidelity constitutive models are critical for accurate meso-scale continuum modeling and prediction of shock initiation crystalline energetic materials (EMs). While empirically calibrated or atomistic-guided anisotropic elastoplastic EM such as cyclotetramethylene-tetranitramine (HMX) cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine (RDX) capture important micromechanical phenomena (such dislocation evolution, slip-resistance, elasticity), the computational cost using single-crystal plasticity can become prohibitive computations void-collapse hotspot formation in microstructures. Thermo-mechanically representative, isotropic, pressure, temperature, rate-dependent material practical alternatives simulations response To this end, work constructs physically consistent isotropic from HMX RDX. State-of-the-art crystal RDX used to compute stress states single crystals oriented three different directions relative shocks generated by impact at velocities ranging 100 1000 m/s.

We compare pressures post-shock stresses between JC show that closely approximate averaged deformation orientations. model interaction 500 m/s with 0.5 μm void deviatoric obtained match those computed both The resulting J2 plastic flow be employed perform energy localization due shear bands collapse two materials.
