Experimental Investigation of Ignition Features for Solid Explosive Charges under Pressure-Shear Loading

In this paper, one-dimensional planar pressure-shear loading upon solid explosive charges (T/Г40/60, 10#-159), which were cohered to the rear surface of the quartz piece, were realized by means of the waves propagation resulting from planar impacting on a Y-cut quartz piece. Longitudinal (or normal) and transverse (or shear) movement histories in the explosive samples were recorded by means of electric-magnetic particles velocity (EMPV) gages. They are Lagrangian gages embedded in the sample. By analysis of the law of pressure shear wave propagation in the sample, which would result in the realization of ignition features of solid explosives under pressure-shear loading.
