Parameters of Detonation Waves in TNT

Dremin Pokhil (Ref 58) detd deton wave parameters in TNT, RDX, NG and NMe. Zubarev Telegin (Ref 76) detd parameters in some condensed expls and Hazal Comburini (Ref 78) calculated characteristics of explosion waves in pure and diluted Hydrazoic Acid 

Detonation Wave, Plane. This is a detonation wave in which.the front is flat. See under Detonation, Spherical-and Plane-Fronts, p D708 

Detonation Wave, Plastic. These waves are complicated by the fact that there is no longer a linear relation between stress and strain. A plastic wave does not maintain its form as it progresses but rather the front of increasing stress tends to become longer and longer, at least in normal cases. The reflection at a discontinuity resembles generally the reflection of an elastic wave. Reflection of stress wave at a fixed end in an elastic member gives rise to stresses strains that ass exactly double those in the incident wave 

Properties of plastic wave, as well as of elastic wave were determined by Minshall (Ref 39) using pin contactors and crystals (See also Refs 85b and 92a) 

Detonation Wave, plate Velocities in Impulse Loading by. This subject was discussed in the paper entitled Plate Velocities in Impulse Loading by Detonation Waves , presented by RiB. Clay et al of Univ of Utah at the Symposium on Shock Waves in Process Equipment Annual Meeting of American Institute of Chemical Engineers, Chicago,
