Determination of Equation-of-State Parameters for Four Types of Explosive

Abstract

The detonation parameters of a representative of each of four types of commercial explosive (a mixture of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil, commonly called ANFO, a traditional stick dynamite, an aluminized slurry blasting agent, and a nonaluminized slurry blasting agent) were determined experimentally by instrumented cylinder and hemisphere tests. The equation-of-state parameters for each of the materials were then calculated by using the J-W-L equation of state.
