The effect of interfacial microstructure on the electro-mechanical properties of explosively
welded titanium and copper plates is discussed. Mechanical testing proved that using …

In holes, the measurement of the velocity of detonation (VOD) helps in comparing and
evaluating relative performance of explosives. In this paper a blast performance assessment …

One of the main parameters describing the properties of explosives is the velocity of
detonation, which can be defined as the propagation speed of the chemical reaction zone in …

Use of explosive to excavate hard rock is one the most important inventions in the human
history. In this chapter the history of explosive development, the theory of the detonation of …

This study aimed to analyze the effect of the impact velocity of a Zr 700 flyer plate explosively
welded to a Ti Gr. 1/P265GH bimetallic composite on the residual stress formation, structural …

The demand for coal from surface mining projects are on the higher side like never before
for which blasting is the basic unit operation. The explosive plays an important role in …

Microstructure and phase in the bonding zone of explosively welded Ti/Al multilayer clads
were examined by optical microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The …

Detonation velocity (VOD) is one of the most important parameters describing the detonation
process of a particular explosive. This article summarizes some peculiarities that we have …

The reaction rate of an explosive–also called detonation velocity–is the easiest parameter to
measure, and also one of the most important in characterizing the process of detonation …

The efficiency of drilling and blasting operations can be assessed in different ways,
depending on the desired effect. The evaluation can be performed on the basis of the quality …
