Ground Motion and Air Overpressure Study by Michael K. Sharp, Donald E. Yule

“…A seismic attenuation and air overpressure study was conducted to determine the attenuation of explosion induced ground motions and air overpressures as a function of distance from shallow subsurface detonated charges, and to derive parameters to predict blast effects at distances beyond the ordinance disposal facility boundary. …”

Distribution and Fate of Military Explosives and Propellants in Soil: A Review by John Pichtel

“…Soils worldwide are contaminated by energetic materials from manufacturing operations; military conflict; military training activities at firing and impact ranges; and open burning/open detonation (OB/OD) of obsolete munitions. Energetic materials undergo varying degrees of chemical and biochemical transformation depending on the compounds involved and environmental factors. …”

Influences of the Cloud Shape of Fuel-Air Mixtures on the Overpressure Field by Chunhua Bai, Ye Wang, Jianping Li, Mingsheng Chen

“…Based on the experimental results, the overpressure field was divided into two zones: detonation wave zone and shock wave zone. It is found that the overpressure of shock waves at the same distance from the explosion center increased with the diameters, but the variations of heights had little impact on the overpressure. …”

Experimental Study on Shock Wave Propagation of the Explosion in a Pipe with Holes by High-Speed Schlieren Method by Gang Zhang

“…In perpendicular orientation, oblique shock wave fronts were observed, indicating the propagation of explosion detonation along the charge. Shock wave velocity in the hole direction is larger than that in the nonhole direction, indicating the function of holes in controlling blast energy, that is, leading blast energy to hole direction. …”

Study on the Mechanism of Sparks Generated Mechanical Friction by He Pan, Yang Zhang

“…The result indicates that friction sparks are indeed easier to detonate gas than hot surfaces. Moreover, a mathematical model based on the heat transfer theory is used to prove that the sparks induced by friction from TC4 alloys are more hazardous than those induced by friction from copper and Q235A steel. …”

Penetration Form of Inter-Hole Cracks under Double-Hole Blasting Conditions with Inclined Fissures by Shiwei Shen, Yue Zhao, Chang Liu, Shulin Dai, Fei Wu, Man Jiang

“…The peak propagation velocity decreased with the increasing vertical distance between the prefabricated fracture and the borehole, and the stress intensity factor at the crack tip immediately reached its peak value after detonation, and the oscillation then decreased. These research results can serve a basis for reducing tunnel blasting over-excavation under this condition and optimizing blasting parameters.…”
