Electromagnetic method in determination of the detonation parameters of ammonium nitrate explosives

摘要

This paper presents the results of the study detonation parameters for minced and porous ammonium nitrate (AN) with different amount of inerts such as sodium chloride and silica. Using electromagnetic method the shape of detonation waves in explosive mixtures were determined. For selected ammonium nitrate based mixtures detonation parameters such as detonation velocity, mass velocity and reaction time behind the detonation wave front were measured. Additionally, one of the experimental result was confirmed in numerical simulations.
