Flyer plate performance and the initiation of insensitive explosives by flyer plate impact. [TATB]
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7193240
A technique is presented in which a few experiments yield data for an analytical expression which predicts flyer plate velocity as a function of the flyer/explosive mass ratio. A test method for determining initiation sensitivity of one difficult-to-initiate explosive, TATB, also is presented. Effects of explosive density and elevated temperature on the results are illustrated. The initiation product, P/super n/Tau, is shown.
