DECO, A NEW SOLVER FOR MBX

摘要

During last years, in order to meet the constraints due to new war theatres, great efforts have focused on the development of new kinds of weapons able to generate specific effects such as, on one hand, high blast and temperature effects, or, on the other hand, low collateral damages. The blast effect is mainly due to the ability of detonation products to react with the oxygen of air. This phenomenon called afterburning strongly contributes to generate high pressure impulse, especially in confined spaces. This is why metallic particles, mainly aluminium particles, are commonly used in Enhanced Blast explosives (EBX).
