Failure Radius: Theory and Prediction
Abstract
A theory is presented which relates the Chapman-Jouquet pressure of a detonating explosive to its charge radius and also predicts the failure radius. This theory results in a one parameter equation. This equation fits the experimental data for cast TNT reasonably well when the parameter is obtained using one datum point.
