OSTI ID:4710093
S>The theory of exploding wires phenomena is briefly examined, and a scheme for classifying wire explosions on the basis of the wire vaporization time is described. Some uses of exploding wires (rocket guidance, metal shaping, photography, dense plasma sources, and shock wave production) are also mentioned. (D.C.W.)
