Determination of the Equation of State of Explosive Detonation Products from the Cylinder Expansion Test

Abstract

The wall displacement history from the streak camera film record of a cylinder expansion test is analyzed. The radial and axial components of motion for individual wall particles are determined and the equation of state of the detonation products is calculated in tabular form. Comments are made concerning the numerical difficulties and a listing of the computer program, called CEDAR, is included.
