Cooper, P W

Experimental data for pressure and particle velocity along the Hugoniot of detonation reaction products for a number of explosives are correlated in a reduced parameter form P/P/sub cj/ versus u/u/sub cj/. Two correlations are found: P/P/sub cj/ = a + b(u/u/sub cj/) + c(u/u/sub cj/)/sup 2/ when P/P/sub cj/>0.08, and P/P/sub cj/ = m(u/u/sub cj/)/sup n/ when P/P/sub cj/<0.08. The correlations yield results that agree reasonably with code calculations. 13 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.
