L-218 Material Selection And Property-Processing Implications In Additive Manufactured Materials For Munitions
19 February 2020
Additive manufacturing (also referred to as AM) offers many opportunities in the munition design space to tailor bulk properties, such as spatially-variant composition, density, etc., with intent to subsequently affect macro behavior through changes in stress/strain profiles, variable
L-217 Ageing Of Munition Materials
26 October 2019
The ageing of materials in munitions as reported in the open literature is reviewed within the framework of materials engineering. The focus is on polymeric materials and molecular solids encountered in energetic materials.
O-214 MSIAC Workshop 2020 Defects - Causes, Classification and Criticality
03 October 2019
Defects in energetic materials or in other materials used in munitions systems are often a cause for concern. This includes voids, cracks, and foreign materials, as well as chemical, physical and or mechanical properties that are outside design tolerance specifications.
O-206 TNT and Blast Equivalency Characterization of Energetic Materials
31 July 2019
When dealing with energetic materials, TNT Equivalency is commonly used for different purposes. For scientific purposes, it is a means to compare the explosive effects delivered by different energetic compositions, by expressing them in terms of an equivalent TNT detonation.
L-220 Lifecycle of flare countermeasures Report 2 Manufacture to disposal
25 January 2019
Flare countermeasures are traditionally a mixture of magnesium, Teflon® and Viton® (MTV). Historically, information regarding MTV flares was subject to national security restrictions.
L-213 Material Parameters for IM related modeling and simulation efforts
25 January 2019
This report documents MSIAC’s generation of a consolidated guide to energetic material parameters needed for typical IM modeling and simulation efforts. An explanation of tests and experiments to determine the parameters will also be included.
L-221 Lifecycle of flare countermeasures Report 3 Ageing and degradation
23 January 2019
Flare countermeasures are traditionally a mixture of magnesium, Teflon® and Viton® (MTV). Historically, information regarding MTV flares was subject to national security restrictions.
L-219 Lifecycle of flare countermeasures Report 1 Flare countermeasure overview
23 January 2019
Flare countermeasures are traditionally a mixture of magnesium, Teflon® and Viton® (MTV). Historically, information regarding MTV flares was subject to national security restrictions.

23 January 2019
Additive manufacturing (also referred to as AM) offers many opportunities in the munitions design space to tailor bulk properties, such as spatially-variant composition, density, etc., with intent to subsequently affect macro behaviour through changes in stress/stra
O-187 An international review of the use of environmental data loggers in peace-time and operations
23 January 2019
This paper provides a brief introduction to an MSIAC report which provides an overview of the use of environmental data loggers and of the data that is registered.
