ANALYSIS OF THE SENSITIVITY OF EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS TO INITIATION BY IMPACT, VARIOUS STATISTICAL METHODS

Abstract

Various statistical methods are presented for the analysis of explosive sensitivity test data. The Karber, Probit, 'chi-squared,' and Bruceton methods are presented. Criteria are developed for choice of the most suitable methods for reaching decisions about relative changes in, absolute values of, and predictability of the sensitivity of explosive materials.
