Abstract

Detonation initiation in a composite explosive based on HMX and TATB loaded by a divergent shock wave was studied on a U-70 proton accelerator using proton radiography. Density distributions behind the initiating shock front at various times were obtained. Detonation failure due to collision of shock and detonation waves was studied for a plastic-bonded TATB sample using radiography. Characteristic features of the explosive transformation under shock-wave loading were determined from the images obtained.
