Abstract: A computer modeling study is reported about the constant-piston-velocity compaction response of a 50% porous fine particle and air mixture. It is established that for the 10- $$\upmu \hbox {m}$$ average particle diameter powder chosen… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Exploding bridgewire (EBW) detonators work by bursting a thin conducting wire as a result of a high voltage discharge. This process is known to produce a strong UV emission. The roles of optical absorption,… read more here.
