Va. Poplavskii et Vv. Grzhibovskii, DETONATION VELOCITY IN THE TRANSITION ZONE OF AN EXPLOSIVE CHARGE, Combustion, explosion, and shock waves, 33(5), 1998, pp. 611-613
Results of an experimental study of the detonation velocity in the tra
nsition zone of an acceptor explosive in a cylindrical charge consisti
ng of two different explosives are given. An empirical relation betwee
n the length of the transition zone and the ratio of the steady detona
tion velocities of the donor and acceptor explosives in segmented char
ges is obtained.
