Method of evaluating energy released by a warhead charge based on average fragment quality

Abstract Limited initiation energy or external stimulation may cause incomplete detonation in a warhead. At present, there is no quantitative method to characterize the release of warhead charge for such as explosion and deflagration. We propose based on average fragment quality released by charge. The theoretical study shows that after inversely proportional initial velocity. relationship between explosive established verified experiment. This relation can be used determine initiation. It provides basis optimizing efficiency use high-energy conventional damage technology design, evaluating insensitive ammunition.
