Experimental Investigation of Two-Dimensional Shock Initiation Process of Cast Composition B

A two-streak high-speed photography measuring system is designed, which can successfully record the reactive shock front and the reaction profile within the run distance of shock initiation under two-dimensional shock initiation. The strong reaction delay time and the shape of reaction shock front are determined in the cast composition B (RDX/TNT/60/40). A low level reaction zone has been found and analyzed.
