Abstract: This paper investigates the influence of explosive charge density and scaled distance on shockwave overpressure for cyclotol 50/50. Series of tests were conducted in order to measure the shockwave overpressure at different distances for 0.4 kg explosive charge weight. Shockwave overpressure was measured using piezoelectric probes at different distances. Obtained correlation between density and overpressure has shown linear dependency with COD from 0.9857 to 0.9984. The shockwave overpressure experimental data was further fitted in order to get the relationship between the shockwave overpressure, density and scaled distance using rational Taylor model with COD of 0.9987.

Keywords: Detonation, Shockwave overpressure, Density, Cyclotol 50/50
