Polymer-bonded sugars (PBSs) can be used as a substitute material for polymer-bonded explosives (PBXs) due to their ability to simulate the mechanical properties of PBXs. In the process of pressing a PBS, the length of the dwell time has a significant impact on the mechanical properties of the PBS. This reinforcing effect is based on the residual pressure causing the binder to flow and gradually fill each defect. Through the use of Darcy’s principle of binder infiltration and viscoelastic theory, an exponential relationship between the compressive strength of PBS and the dwell time has been derived. From the experiments, it was found that the extreme forces that correspond to the compaction stage of the PBS samples with different dwell times were almost the same; this indicates that there is tolerance to damage during the compaction stage. The existence of the compaction stage is related to the brittleness of the PBS. The experimental results showed that as the dwell time increased, the rate of damage evolution of the specimen decreased.

聚合物粘合糖（PBS）可以模拟PBX的机械性能，因此可以用作聚合物粘合炸药（PBX）的替代材料。在压制PBS的过程中，停留时间的长短对PBS的机械性能有重大影响。这种增强作用是基于使粘合剂流动并逐渐填充每个缺陷的残余压力。通过使用达西的粘合剂渗透原理和粘弹性理论，推导了PBS的抗压强度与保压时间之间的指数关系。从实验中发现，与具有不同停留时间的PBS样品的压实阶段相对应的极限力几乎是相同的。这表明在压实阶段对损坏具有容忍度。压实阶段的存在与PBS的脆性有关。实验结果表明，随着停留时间的增加，试样的损伤演化速率降低。
