Abstract

We present a data-driven blended equation of state (EOS) approach for condensed phase high explosive materials. We first calibrate four different high explosive materials (Nitromethane, HMX, PETN and TATB) using a single or blending multiple Fried Howard Gibbs (FHG) EOS by an ad hoc trial and error method that has been used in the past, and which leads to a predictive model that can be used in engineering calculations. This ad-hoc calibration is then re-calibrated based on Bayesian optimisation via Gaussian Process regression. The two calibrations are then compared qualitatively and quantitatively and are shown to be in good to excellent agreement.
