A new method of predicting the critical temperature of explosives for various geometries

A new method of predicting the critical steady-state boundary temperature of an explosive is presented. General expressions are derived for the critical boundary temperatures for a slab, solid and hollow cylinder, and solid and hollow sphere, Results of the method are compared with the results of pr...

Description
Summary:A new method of predicting the critical steady-state boundary temperature of an explosive is presented. General expressions are derived for the critical boundary temperatures for a slab, solid and hollow cylinder, and solid and hollow sphere, Results of the method are compared with the results of previous investigators, when available, and with the results of numerical calculations. The new method was found to be in good agreement with the numerical results and the results of the previous techniques. The new method is simple and can be easily applied to various geometries and boundary conditions.
