Detonation Initiated by High‐Pressure Gas Loading of a Solid Explosive

摘要

A one‐dimensional numerical treatment reproduces experimental trends observed in the shock initiation of solid explosives; it has consequently been used to show that a rapid gas loading of a solid explosive to the initiating pressure for its charge configuration effects detonation. The deflagration‐to‐detonation experiments (pressure generated by confined burning of cast explosives) and air‐gap sensitivity tests (pressure generated by gaseous detonation products of an explosive donor) are examples of detonation caused by gas loading.
