Deflagration-to-detonation transition project: quarterly report, December 1978-February 1979
- ed.
A project to address deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT), primarily as it relates to low-voltage, hot-wire devices, commenced in September 1978. Its major goals are (a) the formulation of a modeling capability for DDT of the explosive 2-(5-cyanotetrazolato)pentaammine-cobalt(III) perchlorate (CP); (b) the development of improved DDT materials; (c) the establishment of a data base for corrosion, compatibility, and reliability of CP-loaded detonators; and (d) the design and development of advanced DDT components. An overview of the project activities, as well as specific objectives and plans, were provided in the first quarterly project report. This report presents activities and results of the second quarter. Because the emphasis has been on dissemination of information on a timely basis, results presented in these reports should be regarded as being of a preliminary nature.
