An alternative method for the measurement of the mechanical impulse of a vertically directed blast

Author: Turner, GR Date: 2008 An alternative method for the measurement of the total mechanical impulse of a vertically directed blast due to an explosive charge is presented. The method differs from apparatus that employ a vertically displaced mass (similar in principle ... Read more
The application of multispectral light detectors to gauge detonative events by means of their emitted light signature

Author: Olivier, Marius Date: Sep 2016 It is well known that reacting explosives emit light of varying intensity across the light spectrum. Measurement of this emitted light could have many applications, i.a. the creation of a database of characteristic light signatures at specific ... Read more
Prediction of injuries caused by explosive events: A case study of a hand grenade incident in South Africa

Author: Whyte, TN ; Snyman, IM ; Meel, BL Date: Nov 2008 An M26 hand grenade was accidentally detonated by a group of eight children, six of whom were killed, in the Mthatha area of South Africa. The M26 grenade is designed to produce casualties through the high velocity fragments that it expels. ... Read more
Relating pressure measurements to phenomena observed in high speed video recordings during tests of explosive charges in a semi-confined blast chamber

Author: Mostert, FJ ; Snyman, IM ; Olivier, Marius ; Grundlingh, W ; Sono, TJ Date: Sep 2012 Tests with explosive charges of 0.5 kg and 2 kg were conducted in the semi-confined blast chamber at the CSIR DBEL test range. Pressure measurements were obtained with side-on and face-on sensors mounted in the walls of the chamber and high ... Read more
Scaling of light emission from detonating bare Composition B, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene [C7H5(NO2)3], and PE4 plastic explosive charges

Author: Mostert, FJ ; Olivier, Marius Date: Oct 2011 It is well known that an intense flash of light is emitted when an explosive charge is detonated. The light emission continues well beyond the actual detonation process due to shock excitation of the air molecules around the charge, as well ... Read more
