Predetonation Period in Detonation Wave

Under the term of predetonation period is known the period immediately preceding the formation of detonation wave. This is also called induction period in which the expl transforms from deflagration into detonation 

Shepherd (Ref 18) gave a discussion on predetonation period in powdered Tetryl of density 1.10 g/cc 

Detonation Wave, Pressure of. This subject was discussed in Refs 3, 7, 20, 32, 50 52 pp 32-5 and 265 70 

Detonation Wave Pressure Influence on the. Velocity of Deflagration of Smokeless Propellants was discussed by Apin Bolkhovitinov in Ref 57 

Detonation Wave, Profile of. See under Detonation Wave Shape and Density Properties and in Ref 52, p 91
