  • 1899 Accesses

Part of the book series: Shock Wave and High Pressure Phenomena ((SHOCKWAVE))

Abstract

Problems related to the design of HE containment vessels, an estimation of their security and ability to withstand a variety of external effects, requires versatile experimental research into high explosive properties, the explosion itself, and its thermomechanical effect on the environment. Knowledge pertaining to the mechanisms involved in the initiation and propagation of a detonation wave is needed for effective work in a number of important practical areas, such as:
