Abstract
The work in this thesis has explored the development and application of a model to predict the relative impact sensitivity of a range of EMs. This model is based on the concept of vibrational up-pumping, which was developed to rationalise the localisation (and hence intensification) of energy resulting from mechanical perturbation of a solid. In contrast to previous attempts, the model in this thesis is based purely on ab initio input. Hence, this work provides a new approach to predict relative impact sensitivities of EMs.
