Excess transit time as a function of burst current in an exploding bridgewire detonator

OSTI ID:5087907
Transit time, the time from bridgewire burst until breakout of detonation from the output pellet of an exploding bridgewire detonator, was measured as a function of burst current. From this data, in conjunction with known equations for run distance versus pressure, unreacted explosive Hugoniots, and detonation properties of the initial pressing pellet, the run distance in the initial pressing explosive pellet and shock pressure from the exploding bridgewire were determined, both as a function of burst current.
