Investigation of Shock Initiation in Covered Charges under Shock Wave and Fragment Impacts by Xingwang Chen, Jinxiang Wang, Kui Tang, Hongfei Wang, Yuanbo Li

“…According to the results, increase in the diameter of covered plates containing a cylindrical notch increased pressed TNT critical detonation distance. When dealing with a covered plate containing a normally reflected frustum notch, however, we figured out that any increase in normal reflection slope could decrease pressed TNT critical detonation distance.…”
