Ratio of detonation pressure and critical pressure of high explosives with different compounds
Vesna Džingalašević Gordana Antić Dušan Mlađenović
The experimental data that describe explosive performance (detonation velocity and pressure) are compared with the critical pressure – the value which characterizes the shock sensitivity of explosives, one of criteria for explosive security. Presented values are the result of extensive experimental work and consider explosives with different composition and structure. The aim of this paper is to establish grounds for evaluating the critical pressure value of new explosive compound based on the detonation velocity, the parameter which is measured primarily, for the purpose of future application in warheads.
Key words: high explosives, detonation velocity, explosive sensitivity, detonation pressure, critical pressure.
