Due to the wide applicability and popularity of emulsion explosives (EEs) in the industry,
ongoing advancements have been made in order to better understand and optimize the …

The reaction rate of an explosive–also called detonation velocity–is the easiest parameter to
measure, and also one of the most important in characterizing the process of detonation …

In order to build a set of test methods for quantified and efficient evaluation of the detonation
properties of commercial explosives, three pressure-conducted types of novel velocity …

The adduct of Urea and Hydrogen Peroxide (UHP), also called Carbamide Peroxide, is
industrially produced as a solid source of hydrogen peroxide for bleaching, disinfection, and …

This paper proposes a flexible ionization-conducted probe sensor for measuring detonation
velocity produced by microcharges. Probe array structure is used to obtain multiple sets of …

Over the last decade, the use of chirped fibre Bragg gratings (CFBGs) in detonation velocity
experiments has been steadily increasing. In this paper, we show how CFBG design …

PlSEM is a plastic explosive based on RDX, PETN and a nonexplosive binder, and is used
in linear shaped charges for demolition purposes. Its experimentally obtained detonation …

Two important parameters reflect in the quality of the interface of two explosively welded
metal plates–impact velocity and collision angle. Both parameters can be determined from …

The shock response of a polymer-bonded copper powder was investigated by means of
plate impact experiments in a gas gun (pressure range 1–8 GPa) and using in-contact …

The objective of this research was to develop and to experimentally validate a method to
predict the blast performance of thermobaric annular charges based on isopropyl nitrate …
