Brisance

Brisance is the shattering capability of a high explosive, determined mainly by its detonation pressure.

See Detonation velocity and Brisance

Burn rate (chemistry)

In chemistry, the burn rate (or burning rate) is a measure of the linear combustion rate of a compound or substance such as a candle or a solid propellant.

See Detonation velocity and Burn rate (chemistry)

Chapman–Jouguet condition

The Chapman–Jouguet condition holds approximately in detonation waves in high explosives. Detonation velocity and Chapman–Jouguet condition are explosives engineering.

See Detonation velocity and Chapman–Jouguet condition

Deflagration

Deflagration (Lat: de + flagrare, 'to burn down') is subsonic combustion in which a pre-mixed flame propagates through an explosive or a mixture of fuel and oxidizer.

See Detonation velocity and Deflagration

Detonating cord

Detonating cord (also called detonation cord, detacord, detcord, or primer cord) is a thin, flexible plastic tube usually filled with pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN, pentrite).

See Detonation velocity and Detonating cord

Detonation

Detonation is a type of combustion involving a supersonic exothermic front accelerating through a medium that eventually drives a shock front propagating directly in front of it. Detonation velocity and Detonation are explosives engineering.

See Detonation velocity and Detonation

Dust explosion

A dust explosion is the rapid combustion of fine particles suspended in the air within an enclosed location.

See Detonation velocity and Dust explosion

Explosion

An explosion is a rapid expansion in volume of a given amount of matter associated with an extreme outward release of energy, usually with the generation of high temperatures and release of high-pressure gases.

See Detonation velocity and Explosion

Explosive

An explosive (or explosive material) is a reactive substance that contains a great amount of potential energy that can produce an explosion if released suddenly, usually accompanied by the production of light, heat, sound, and pressure.

See Detonation velocity and Explosive

Flame speed

The flame speed is the measured rate of expansion of the flame front in a combustion reaction.

See Detonation velocity and Flame speed

Force

A force is an influence that can cause an object to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate, meaning a change in speed or direction, unless counterbalanced by other forces.

See Detonation velocity and Force

Gas explosion

A gas explosion is the ignition of a mixture of air and flammable gas, typically from a gas leak.

See Detonation velocity and Gas explosion

Gas laws

The laws describing the behaviour of gases under fixed pressure, volume, amount of gas, and absolute temperature conditions are called Gas Laws.

See Detonation velocity and Gas laws

Gurney equations

The Gurney equations are a set of mathematical formulas used in explosives engineering to relate how fast an explosive will accelerate an adjacent layer of metal or other material when the explosive detonates. Detonation velocity and Gurney equations are explosives engineering.

See Detonation velocity and Gurney equations

Pressure

Pressure (symbol: p or P) is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.

See Detonation velocity and Pressure

Shell (projectile)

A shell, in a military context, is a projectile whose payload contains an explosive, incendiary, or other chemical filling.

See Detonation velocity and Shell (projectile)

Shock wave

In physics, a shock wave (also spelled shockwave), or shock, is a type of propagating disturbance that moves faster than the local speed of sound in the medium.

See Detonation velocity and Shock wave

Speed of sound

The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium.

See Detonation velocity and Speed of sound

Table of explosive detonation velocities

This is a compilation of published detonation velocities for various high explosive compounds. Detonation velocity and Table of explosive detonation velocities are explosives engineering.

See Detonation velocity and Table of explosive detonation velocities

Velocity

Velocity is the speed in combination with the direction of motion of an object.

See Detonation velocity and Velocity
