Phenomena Occurring at Explosive Metal Interfaces.
Abstract
A substantial body of data has been developed concerning the effect of running detonations on plates. A variety of plate materials and explosive systems have been tested. The feasibility of a two-stage plate accelerating system has been established and some of the limitations of such a system have been defined. The effects of an inclined impact between a flying plate and a stationary plate have been studied briefly. Three concepts for potential fragment directing systems have emerged from these studies: (1) a multiple-stage accelerator, (2) an oblique impact plate director, and (3) a tilted wave accelerator.
