Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tnt as a Blasting Explosive The investigations reported herein were undertaken and this paper has been prepared Solely to aid In the Salvage of the surplus tnt accumulated for war uses and released by the declaration of the armistice. No funds were available nor have any been appropriated with which to defray the expense of converting this tnt into any other form or to prepare any explosive mixture from it. The sole problem was to find appropriate uses for the tnt in existing needs and to show that it could be efficiently Used without Change in carry ing out essential civil projects. It is not intended to promote the use of tnt as an industrial explo sive. On the contrary, the authors believe that tnt is unlikely to be generally used, principally because of its cost. The clouds of smoke given off 'by tnt on explosion Show that we are not obtaining from it its highest efficiency. It can be improved by mixing the tnt in proper proportions with sodium nitrate or ammonium nitrate or some other cheap oxidizing agent which will consume the excess combustible matter in the tnt. By such admixture not only Will the energy resident in the tnt be utilized to a larger extent, but the cost of the resulting explosive should be much less than that of tnt. It may be desirable to add other material with which to waterproof this product. But these are problems which should be treated else where.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Explosives: A Synoptic and Critical Treatment of the Literature of the Subject as Gathered From Various Sources In view of the facts just mentioned it seems a worthy task to gather together the facts recorded in the liter ature of explosives, arrange them in accordance with the physical-chemical views, and take a survey of the present status of the chemistry of explosives and its most important aims. By this means the subject may be presented for convenient reference and future use. Such a treatment of the subject should be Of value primarily for the theoretical scientist who might desire to secure a detailed acquaintance with the practical problems relating to explosives, in order, perhaps, to subject them to a mathematical-chemical treatment such as we have indicated above as desirable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Explosives Materials: The Phenomena and Theories of Explosion and the Classification, Constitution and Preparation of Explosives The first edition Of this number Of Van Nostrand's Science Series having become exhausted, it became necessary, in order to keep the series complete, to issue a new edition. But in the fifteen years which have elapsed since the appearance of the first edition, many changes have taken place in the views regarding the phenomena of explosions, and many new explosives have attracted the world's at tention, particularly the important class of smokeless powders. Therefore, since the theory advanced by Berthelot no longer accounts for all the known phe nomena, it was deemed best by the pub lishers to have the entire number re written.

Download or read book Blast Waves written by Charles E. Needham and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-17 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an editor of the international scienti?c journal Shock Waves, I was asked whether I might document some of my experience and knowledge in the ?eld of blast waves. I began an outline for a book on the basis of a short course that I had been teaching for several years. I added to the outline, ?lling in details and including recent devel- ments, especially in the subjects of height of burst curves and nonideal explosives. At a recent meeting of the International Symposium on the Interaction of Shock Waves, I was asked to write the book I had said I was working on. As a senior advisor to a group working on computational ?uid dynamics, I found that I was repeating many useful rules and conservation laws as new people came into the group. The transfer of knowledge was hit and miss as questions arose during the normal work day. Although I had developed a short course on blast waves, it was not practical to teach the full course every time a new member was added to the group. This was suf?cient incentive for me to undertake the writing of this book. I cut my work schedule to part time for two years while writing the book. This allowed me to remain heavily involved in ongoing and leading edge work in hydrodynamics while documenting this somewhat historical perspective on blast waves.

Download or read book Explosion Systems with Inert High Modulus Components written by Igor A. Balagansky and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-06-17 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes in one volume the data received during experiments on detonation in high explosive charges This book brings together, in one volume, information normally covered in a series of journal articles on high explosive detonation tests, so that developers can create new explosive technologies. It focuses on the charges that contain inert elements made of materials in which a sound velocity is significantly higher than a detonation velocity. It also summarizes the results of experimental, numerical, and theoretical investigations of explosion systems, which contain high modulus ceramic components. The phenomena occurring in such systems are described in detail: desensitization of high explosives, nonstationary detonation processes, energy focusing, and Mach stems formation. Formation of hypersonic flows of ceramic particles arising due to explosive collapse of ceramic tubes is another example of the issues discussed. Explosion Systems with Inert High Modulus Components: Increasing the Efficiency of Blast Technologies and Their Applications also looks at the design of explosion protective structures based on high modulus ceramic materials. The structural transformations, caused in metallic materials by the energy focusing, or by the impact of hypersonic ceramic jets are also discussed. These transformations include, but not limited to adiabatic shear banding, phase transformations, mechanical twinning, melting, boiling, and even evaporation of the impacted substrates. Specifically discusses in one volume the explosions involved with inert high modules components normally scattered over numerous journal articles Covers methods to increase energy output of a weak explosive by encasing it in a higher explosive Discusses the specifics of explosive systems containing high modulus inert elements Details the process of detonation and related phenomena, as well as the design of novel highly performant explosive systems Describes the transformation in materials impacted due to explosion in such systems Explosion Systems with Inert High Modulus Components will be of great interest to specialists working in fields of energy of the explosion and explosion safety as well as university staff, students, and postgraduate students studying explosion phenomena, explosive technologies, explosion safety, and materials science.
