Detonation, Oblique Impact of a Layer of Explosive by a Metal Plate in. David et al (Ref) conducted experiments on initiation of explosives by impacts upon them of metal plates. When the metal plate came in contact with the layer of explosive, not all at once but gradually, an oblique detonation wave was initiated. In experimental arrangement shown in Fig 1, a metal plate (such as of Cu), was bent thru an angle

Heat Pulse. (Also see Detonation, Flash-Across, Heat Pulse and Hypervelocity Phenomena in Vol 4, p D348-49). A concept advanced by M.A. Cook (Refs 1 2) to provide a theoretical mechanism for the shock initiation of explosives. Cook also used the heat pulse concept in his explanation of certain unusual luminosity effects observed primarily in the detonation of liquid explosives. Briefly stated, Cook believes that detonation is initiated when as a result of rising temperature, produced by reaction in the already shocked region of an explosive, a portion of the explosive becomes thermally super-conductive and a heat-pulse flashes thru it and catches up with the shock front. Studies conducted by Kendrew Whitbread (Ref 3) tend to discount the necessity for postulating a heat-pulse in a theoretical explanation of shock initiation or the above unusual luminosity effects. More recent studies of shock initiation have also failed to produce any conclusive evidence of a heat-pulse ... [Pg.59]

In what follows we will describe some impact machines and impact tests, ie the apparatus and methods for measuring impact sensitivity. We will then present and discuss impact sensitivity data for common explosives obtained with these machines by different laboratories. Then we will briefly consider how impact sensitivity tests have contributed to the development of the theory of initiation of explosives. Finally, we will examine impact testing from a theoretical point of view... [Pg.300]
