Size Effect and Cylinder test on Several Commercial Explosives
POSTER
Abstract
The size (diameter) effect and the Cylinder test results for ammonium nitrate/nitromethane, some ammonium nitrate/fuel oil mixes, Red Dot shotgun powder, Semtex 1A and Semtex H will be presented. A generalized detonation velocity format , valid for all detonation rates, will be discussed. A shot in cylindrical symmetry will be compared with the 1-D cylindrical size effect data.
