« The 4th revised edition expands on the basic chemistry of high energy materials of the precious editions and examines new research developments, including hydrodynamics and ionic liquids. Applications in military and civil fields are discussed. This work is of interest to adva…
Mesoscale models are needed to predict the effect of changes to the microstructure of plastic-bonded explosives on their shock initiation and detonation behaviour. This thesis describes the considerable progress that has been made towards a mesoscale model for two HMX-based expl…
The Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) is a novel rocket combustor configuration that features a periodic, high aspect ratio (length of flowpath versus transverse thickness) combustion chamber designed to promote tangential high-frequency combustion instabilities typical of conven…
It seems that there is no book that treats the measurement of the physical pa rameters of explosives as its only subject, although limited information is avail able in a number of books. Therefore, I have tried to bridge this gap in the lit erature with this book. A large number…
This is a broad-based text on the fundamentals of explosive behavior and the application of explosives in civil engineering, industrial processes, aerospace applications, and military uses.
This is a broad-based text on the fundamentals of explosive behavior and on the application of explosives in civil engineering, industrial processes, aerospace applications, and military uses. The book includes chapters on all aspects of explosives, each written by an expert in …
