URGENT COMMUNICATION The Deceleration Curve of the von Neumann Spike Is the New Feature of Detonating Explosives

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

Abstract

A new characteristic of detonating explosives is proposed—the deceleration curve of the von Neumann spike. An example of plotting such a curve on the basis of experimental data obtained at the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Technical Physics for detonating plastic-bobded TATB is given.
