Vv. Kiselev, ESTIMATION OF THE PARAMETERS OF METAL PLATES PROPELLED BY THE SLIDINGDETONATION OF CHARGES OF CONDENSED EXPLOSIVES IN THE INITIAL PHASE OFTHE PROCESS, Combustion, explosion, and shock waves, 31(1), 1995, pp. 134-137
An experimental study was made of the propulsion of metal plates by th
e sliding detonation of an explosive charge during the initial stage o
f the process. It was found that the compressibility of the plate mate
rial might have a substantial effect on the dynamics of the propulsion
process. A formula obtained to estimate propulsion parameters account
s for both the propulsive and the brisant properties of the explosive.
