Initiation of Detonation by Low Amplitude Shocks

Abstract

Research is reported on the initiation and growth of detonations in propellants and explosives. Current emphasis is placed on reactions that result from low amplitude shock wave stimuli in liquid explosives; the resultant decomposition is usually a low-velocity detonation.
