Abstract An analytical model, describing an explosive compaction process performed axially on a powder assembly of cylindrical geometry, is discussed. The powder is encapsulated in a cylindrical metal container surrounded by an explosive pad, which is detonated parallel to the major axis of the compact. The pressure generated in the powder is a function of the nature and the thickness of the explosive material as well as the powder characteristics. The model is based on the principle of shock propagation in powder aggregate and, the detonation as well as the refraction wave characteristics of the explosives. For the purpose of validation… More >
