Deflagration-to-detonation transition in PETN and HMX
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6241598
The deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT) can be made to occur in both PETN and HMX. The reaction is sensitive to the degree of subdivision and the compactness of the explosive in which the transition takes place. It apparently happens better with explosives of small specific surface loaded at low density. Experiments using thin metal shims between the donor and transition-explosive charges suggest that transition-explosive compression makes an important contribution to the DDT process.
