Describes in one volume the data received during experiments on
detonation in high explosive charges This book brings together, in
one volume, information normally covered in a series of journal
articles on high explosive detonation tests, so that developers can
create new explosive technologies. It focuses on the charges that
contain inert elements made of materials in which a sound velocity
is significantly higher than a detonation velocity. It also
summarizes the results of experimental, numerical, and theoretical
investigations of explosion systems, which contain high modulus
ceramic components. The phenomena occurring in such systems are
described in detail: desensitization of high explosives,
nonstationary detonation processes, energy focusing, and Mach stems
formation. Formation of hypersonic flows of ceramic particles
arising due to explosive collapse of ceramic tubes is another
example of the issues discussed. Explosion Systems with Inert High
Modulus Components: Increasing the Efficiency of Blast Technologies
and Their Applications also looks at the design of explosion
protective structures based on high modulus ceramic materials. The
structural transformations, caused in metallic materials by the
energy focusing, or by the impact of hypersonic ceramic jets are
also discussed. These transformations include, but not limited to
adiabatic shear banding, phase transformations, mechanical
twinning, melting, boiling, and even evaporation of the impacted
substrates. Specifically discusses in one volume the explosions
involved with inert high modules components normally scattered over
numerous journal articles Covers methods to increase energy output
of a weak explosive by encasing it in a higher explosive Discusses
the specifics of explosive systems containing high modulus inert
elements Details the process of detonation and related phenomena,
as well as the design of novel highly performant explosive systems
Describes the transformation in materials impacted due to explosion
in such systems Explosion Systems with Inert High Modulus
Components will be of great interest to specialists working in
fields of energy of the explosion and explosion safety as well as
university staff, students, and postgraduate students studying
explosion phenomena, explosive technologies, explosion safety, and
materials science.
Comprehensive coverage of weapon damage effects on a variety of
objects Damaging Effects of Weapons and Ammunition delivers a
thorough exploration of a range of issues related to the effects of
ammunition and weapons. The book includes coverage of the basic
concepts of the theory of efficiency and the physical foundations
of the functional and damaging effects of fragments, shaped
charges, high-explosive and penetrating weapons. The author
discusses the calculation formulas used to evaluation the
parameters of damage fields and their interaction with various
objects. Additionally, the book expands on the damage criteria of
weapons, the characteristics of the vulnerability of objects with
respect to a variety of damaging factors, dependencies for
assessing safe distances, and the resistance of various structures
to the effects of explosion and impact. Damaging Effects of Weapons
and Ammunition also offers: Detailed calculation methods indicating
areas of application and the necessary units of used quantities
Extensive examples of classic designs of ammunition from around the
world Discussions of the characterization of various types of
ammunition, including high-explosive, fragment, penetrative, and
shaped charges A chapter on the numerical simulation of high-speed
processes Perfect for technical specialists working in the fields
of explosion safety and explosives, Damaging Effects of Weapons and
Ammunition also belongs in the libraries of researchers and
students studying explosion phenomena, explosive technologies,
explosion safety, and materials science.
