Single Crystal Orientation Effects in Shock Initiation of PETN Explosive.

摘要

Over the past nine years in Los Alamos we have studied shock initiation of detonation in single crystals of PETN explosive. We have demonstrated the effects of point defects and crystal orientation on shock sensitivity. Here we report recent work on orientation effects and anomalous detonation in orientation at 4 GPa. 5 refs. (ERA citation 13:049470)
