Abstract:Steady-state detonation velocities and wave shapes were measured for JB-9014 rate sticks at the temperature 24 ℃,with diameters of 10,12.5,15,30 mm respectively. Wave shape data were fit with an analytic form,by which the normal velocity Dn(κ) was calculated. The data confirm that the local normal wave velocity Dn depends only on the local total curvature κ for small κ,but it varies with both curvature and explosive diameter in the case of big κ.
