Abstract:
Metal jets generated from 15- and 38-mm-diam-shaped explosive charges were fired into bare samples of the explosives, composition B and H-6. The results showed that a reduction in the jet diameter caused a transition in the mode of initiation from that produced at the sample surface by the impact shock to that produced in the bulk of the explosive by the bow wave from the penetrating jet. The transition is accompanied by a significant change in the explosive’s sensitivity to jets. A simple criterion is proposed for predicting the transition in terms of the minimum diameter of the explosive to support detonation and the diameter of the jet.
