A new look at the run distance correlation and its relationship to other non-steady-state phenomena

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10162598
A review of a portion of the published data on run distance versus input shock pressure led to the formulation of a simple single constant correlation equation: P{sup 2}X = {alpha} . This equation can be used in lieu of the now traditional ``Pop-Plot`` equation. The advantages provided by this simple form are that ``a`` is now a quantitative single valued parameter which describes an explosive`s shock sensitivity. It also allows for direct correlation to other non-steady-state phenomena such as the critical energy fluence for initiation, the detonation velocity-charge radius effect and the critical or failure diameter.
