Abstract

Quite distinct inhomogeneity of the detonation front was found earlier at detonation of cast charges: TNT-RDX, TNT-PETN, and liquids: Nitromethane, solution of DNT in DINA. Cast TNT-DINA, DNT-PETN and pressed HMX-paraffin charges were investigated in this respect later. The ultimate objective of this work is to extend the number of explosive systems capable of propagating detonation in the spin-pulsating regime, and to generalize the results of these investigations. Detonation velocity and heat of explosion were calculated and found to be the same for all the systems, detonated in low frequency (1-3 MHz) spin regime: DJ = 7.3-7.4 km/s and Qv= 5.4 MJ/kg.
