Explosive charge impulse during the contact detonation

Abstract

This article gives mathematical models of the impulses of detonations of the explosive charges which are in contact with metal plates of various features (mo­vable and fixed, compressible and incompressible). The mathematical models are based upon the general detonation theory for the various explosive charges (with metal coverings both compressible and incompressible or without). These models are compared with the existing analytical models based upon the hypothesis that the impulse is direct ratio with 'the active mass of the explosive charge'. Their computer analysis is also included.
