- Abstract
- Many problems related to the initiation and growth of explosion by mechanical action remain unsolved, despite the many papers written on the subject. Unsolved also are problems of sensitivity and desensitization in the theory of explosives. The present book fills a gap in the relevant literature, and differs from previous works by its quantitative character. It generalizes information on the problem of sensitivity, and the initiation mechanism of explosion by mechanical action, for solid explosives. The book in the main contains original results of the authors. Their investigations aided considerably in the advancement of the thermal theory of the initiation of explosives by mechanical action.
