Transition from Slow Burning to Detonation. Partial Report on Experimental Work in 1958-1959

Abstract

The present report covers two essentially unrelated programs performed under the project on transition from slow burning to detonation In explosives. One deals with an attempt at evaluating the effect of a slow flame on shock sensitivity of solid explosives, the other with the application of the NOL-DDT test to explosives (TNT and Comp. B) which are less sensitive than the ones tested previously. This is a progressreport; the results reported herein are not conclusive.
