Destructive effect of accidental explosions of some mixed compositions

Abstract

This paper deals with issues related to the dependence of the parameters of an air blast wave on the mass of the explosive charge and explosion conditions. It is established that the explosive yield of mixed explosives changes appreciably with variation in the mass of the charge up to the limiting values. After the attainment of the limiting values of the mass, the TNT equivalent ceases to change. The range of charge masses in which the indicated changes are observed depends on the properties of the explosives and is the smaller the less pronounced the stepwise nature of their detonation. The conclusions drawn agree with experimental data.
