Abstract:

This research conducted from FY 2006 through FY 2009 addressed to main objectives 1 determination of the combustion kinetics of fine aluminum particles under conditions relevant to enhanced blast devices, and 2 examination of the effects of the passage of the detonation wave on the reactivity of aluminum particles in aluminized explosives. These to research thrust were conducted in parallel.
