Milling Dynamics and Propagation of Mechanically Activated Self-Sustaining Reactions

<div>(a) Initial and (b) relaxed configurations of ball and powder particles. Data refer to the case of a reactor swung at 14.6 Hz. Inside the reactor, an MSR is propagating. The colour of individual powder particles measures the degree of chemical conversion (blue—low conversion degrees; red—high conversion degrees).</div>
