Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This book offers a clear and concise survey of the technologies and physical processes involved in explosive phenomena, aimed at newcomers to the field. It provides essential background knowledge to help readers understand potential issues and engage effectively with specialists. Key topics include the fundamentals of explosive chemistry, mechanics of burning, sound, shock, and detonation, initiation techniques, scaling in design and analysis, and off-the-shelf explosive devices. The text equips readers with basic calculational skills for solving simple engineering design problems while emphasizing the importance of safety. It features a wide range of data on explosive materials, their properties, and behavior, along with extensive references. Each technical area includes example problems with solutions and analyses of various explosive devices. The book concludes with a comprehensive overview of regulatory requirements for the classification, transportation, and storage of explosives, as well as a detailed guide to explosives safety in plant and test facilities. This resource is valuable for explosives technicians and engineers, government regulators, crime scene investigators, and instructors in military, police, and FBI bomb schools.
