Abstract:

The basic thoughts of formulation design for a composite explosive were discussed. Considering all the possible reaction products, a chemical reaction equation was established and a mathematical model of formulation design was obtained. The genetic algorithm(GA) was utilized to solve the example model, and the calculation results showed that GA can quickly search for the optimal solution, which agreed with the principle of the largest heat release. The results could be considered as reference values in formulation design.

Key words: composite explosive; formulation design; mathematical model;GA
