Fabrication of manganin stress gauges for use in detonating high explosives

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6512008
Data from stress gages embedded in shocked high-explosives can be used to estimate chemical energy release rates in the region of the gages and to test the validity of numerical hydrodynamic simulations of shock initiation experiments. No commercially available stress gages were suitable for this use. Techniques developed for fabricating and encapsulating maganin stress gages which can be used in a reacting high-explosive environment are described. (LCL)
