Gd. Kozak et al., Dependence of detonation velocity on charge density for foamed alumotol (Al/TNT) and TNT mixtures, COMB EXPL R, 34(4), 1998, pp. 448-452
Experimental data are presented on the dependence of the critical diameter
and detonation velocity of cast and liquid porous TNT and TA-15 alumotol (A
l/TNT) on charge density. The results of the detonation velocity measuremen
ts are compared with calculations. Based on this comparison, it is proposed
that the reaction during detonation of alumotol is substantially heterogen
eous and this is confirmed by plotting the detonation velocity as a functio
n of density for model mixtures of TNT with various amounts of aluminum and
an inert component.
