Abstract
The order of sensitivity in the falling weight test is calculated as a function of bubble size for a liquid explosive/bubble system. The results compare favorably with experiments, and indicate that sensitivity in such cases is not some unique property of the liquid explosive itself, but rather is a property of the liquid/bubble system. Chemically caused differences of sensitivity may be present, but are not easy to evaluate due to the poor statistical significance of go/no go experiments. Some comments on this problem are given, along with considerations of complicated initiations and the effects of hydrostatic ambient pressure on initiation. The algorithm presented previously is a guide delineating occurrences which are significant in initiation.
