Part of the book series: High-Pressure Shock Compression of Condensed Matter ((SHOCKWAVE))

Abstract

The specificity of the experimental methods necessary for the dynamic characterization of explosives basically depends on two of the properties of the physical phenomena involved: their transitory nature and their destructive character. In fact, the total duration of an experiment rarely exceeds a few microseconds, and the signals collected at the level of the assembly must be transmitted in real time and over a distance of several meters before being recorded in an appropriate shed.
