This book was released on 1998 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The detonation of an underwater charge creates a shock wave and a bubble of gaseous products at high temperature and pressure. At greater ranges, the shock wave and bubble become separated and their effects on structures may be studied separately. However, close to the point of detonation, in the regions typically used for sea-mine neutralisation, the shock wave and bubble lie in close proximity and their relative importance in the neutralisation process is not known. A series of scaled experiments to visualise the early development of the shock wave and bubble, and their interactions with an explosive and with simple structures were devised. These experiments used spherical pentolite charges and cylindrical Composition B charges as the donor and acceptor charges respectively. Both charges were suspended in a small, transparent water-filled tank and the effects of the exploding donor recorded by a Cordin rotating mirror camera. The results show that the underwater shock wave is the principle cause of damage in the near field and initiates detonation in the explosive material long before the bubble contacts the explosive.

This book was released on 2012-03-28 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, as a volume of the Shock Wave Science and Technology Reference Library, is primarily concerned with the fundamental theory of detonation physics in gaseous and condensed phase reactive media. The detonation process involves complex chemical reaction and fluid dynamics, accompanied by intricate effects of heat, light, electricity and magnetism - a contemporary research field that has found wide applications in propulsion and power, hazard prevention as well as military engineering. The seven extensive chapters contained in this volume are: - Chemical Equilibrium Detonation (S Bastea and LE Fried) - Steady One-Dimensional Detonations (A Higgins) - Detonation Instability (HD Ng and F Zhang) - Dynamic Parameters of Detonation (AA Vasiliev) - Multi-Scaled Cellular Detonation (D Desbordes and HN Presles) - Condensed Matter Detonation: Theory and Practice (C Tarver) - Theory of Detonation Shock Dynamics (JB Bdzil and DS Stewart) The chapters are thematically interrelated in a systematic descriptive approach, though, each chapter is self-contained and can be read independently from the others. It offers a timely reference of theoretical detonation physics for graduate students as well as professional scientists and engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los Alamos National Laboratory is an incredible place. It was conceived and born amidst the most desperate of circumstances. It attracted some of the most brilliant minds, the most innovative entrepreneurs, and the most c- ative tinkerers of that generation. Out of that milieu emerged physics and engineering that beforehand was either unimagined, or thought to be f- tasy. One of the ?elds essentially invented during those years was the science of precision high explosives. Before 1942, explosives were used in munitions and commercial pursuits that demanded proper chemistry and con?nement for the necessary e?ect, but little else. The needs and requirements of the Manhattan project were of a much more precise and speci?c nature. Spatial and temporal speci?cations were reduced from centimeters and milliseconds to micrometers and nanoseconds. New theory and computational tools were required along with a raft of new experimental techniques and novel ways of interpreting the results. Over the next 40 years, the emphasis was on higher energy in smaller packages, more precise initiation schemes, better and safer formulations, and greater accuracy in forecasting performance. Researchers from many institutions began working in the emerging and expanding ?eld. In the midst of all of the work and progress in precision initiation and scienti?c study, in the early 1960s, papers began to appear detailing the ?rst quantitative studies of the transition from de?agration to detonation (DDT), ?rst in cast, then in pressed explosives, and ?nally in propellants.

This book was released on 1966 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this work was to develop an experimental apparatus for the study of the initiation of detonation in a gaseous medium as a result of shock compression. The design of the apparatus is described, and results of some preliminary experiments are reported. They indicate that the mechanism of the initiation process behind reflected waves in a shock tube is essentially different than that caused by an accelerating flame. (Author).
