Performance properties of the emulsion explosive QM-100.

摘要

QM-100 was evaluated in cylinder expansion configuration to determine the detonation production equation of state. Two experiments were run. No differences in scaled cylinder wall expansions could be determined; hence, despite a diameter effect on detonation velocity, metal acceleration was the same for both experiments. Max expansion volumes were limited, (approximately) 4 V/V(sub o). This was interpreted to be result of significant inhomogeneities in the emulsion explosive fills which in turn produced a nonuniform detonation and ruptured the cylinders. 7 refs., 6 figs., 4 tabs.
