Dispersion of explosion products in a shaped-gas charge

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

The phenomenon of energy focusing in the detonation of an explosive has found wide application in industry. Examples are shaped charges for geophysical investigations [1] and for crushing rock masses under conditions of back pressure [2], charges for crushing bulky pieces of rock [3, 4], directed well-drilling and pressure charges [5, 6], shaped-gas charges for accelerating solids [7] and for supersonic focusing [8].
