DESCRIPTION:The compressive mechanical strength of the polymer bonded expl
 osive EDC37 has been studied over a wide range of strain rates (10-8 to 10
 +3 s-1 at 298 K) and temperatures (208 to 333 K at 10-3 s-1). The results 
 reveal that the response of EDC37 is dominated by the viscoelastic propert
 ies of its binder system. An empirically derived expression will be presen
 ted that quantifies the equivalence of changes in strain rate and temperat
 ure.
