Relative dimensions of the zones of destruction created by explosions

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

A relation is found between the size of the cavity created by an underground explosion and the zone of destruction of the currounding porous medium. The relative size of the destruction zone is determined from the density discontinuity and does not depend on the energy density and the size of the charge.
