This paper presents new insights into the influence of explosive charge backing on impulse transfer and transient response characteristics plates subjected to close-proximity air blast loading. The results combine experimental computational studies show critical backing, which caused between a 3-5 times increase in when was metal-backed. permanent deflections from metal-backed detonations were ...

Experiments have shown that the interaction of deformation waves propagating through heterogeneous energetic solids with confining boundaries can result in combustion of these materials. Wilson, et al. [1], observed ignition at an anvil-explosive interface while loading an explosive with shock levels below the plane shock initiation threshold. These observations are of practical significance si...

Temper outbursts, sometimes called rages, are a major reason for outpatient and inpatient referral. These behaviors have also been a focus of assessment in child psychology and psychiatry since rating scales were developed. In fact, items consistently loading on the same factors in frequently used behavior rating scales for children reflect negative mood (mood changes quickly/explosive, easily ...

A series of large scale dynamic tests were conducted at the LKAB Kiirunavaara mine using explosives to generate the dynamic load on the support system. This was done with the aim of developing a testing methodology for in-situ testing of ground support. Furthermore, the response of the installed rock support system to strong dynamic loading was evaluated. The results of the Tests 1, 2, 3, 4 and...

A simplified method is shown, based on a semi-empirical procedure, to estimate the detonation velocities of CHNO explosives at various loading densities. It is assumed that the product composition consists almost of CO, CO2, H2O and N2 for oxygen-rich explosives. In addition solid carbon and H2 are also counted for an oxygen-lean explosive. The approximate detonation temperature, as a second ne...
