Study of the conditions of fracture at explosive compaction of powders by Andrey E. Buzyurkin, Evgeny I. Kraus, Yaroslav L. Lukyanov

“…The performed analysis shows that an increase in the decay time of the pressure applied to the sample due to an increase of the explosive thickness or the external loading causes no shrinkage of the destructed region at a fixed propagation velocity of the detonation wave. Simultaneously, a decrease in the propagation velocity of the detonation wave results in an appreciable shrinkage of this region.…”
