Effect of Material Strength on the Rotation Dynamics of a Plate Driven by Sliding Detonation of an Explosive Charge

摘要

Experiments revealed different rotation dynamics of plates driven by a sliding detonation wave if the plates were made of materials with close physical properties but different strength. By modifying the existing formula for the bending angle, it was possible to describe the experimental data in a unified manner. Accounting for the dynamic strength of metal allowed prediction of the formula for the bending angle for one material based on the known formula for another material with close physical properties.
