Abstract
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.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
