Characterization of initiation and detonation by Lagrange gage technology. Final report
Theoretical and experimental studies were performed to establish guidelines for applying the Lagrange gage and analysis technique to the determination of constitutive relations and energy release rates in shocked explosives. In this technique constitutive relations are determined by integrating the continuity and momentum equations using gage measurements of Lagrange stress and/or particle velocity histories as input; volumetric energy release rates are calculated from the energy equation and from a specification of the frozen sound speed with no other assumptions. This information is required to formulate realistic mathematical models of initiation and detonation for use in hydrocode calculations related to the response and safety of explosives.
