Abstract
Detonation velocity is an important parameter for explosive, and it is crucial for many fields such as dynamic chemistry burn models, detonation propagation prediction, explosive performance estimation, and so on. Dual-channel detonation velocity measurement method and system are described. The CFBG sensors are pasted both on the surface and in the center of the explosive cylinder. The length of CFBG sensors is measured via the hot-tip probe method. The light intensity reflected from the CFBG sensors attached to the explosive is transformed to voltage, and the voltage–time is then measured with the oscilloscope. According to the five experiments results, the relative standard uncertainty of detonation velocity is below 1%.
Highlights
A detonation wave is a shock wave with an intense chemical reaction and propagates in explosives.Detonation velocity can reach several kilometers per second
There are some conventional ways of measuring detonation velocity, such as electrical shorting pins, microwave interferometry, high-speed photography, and PDV [2]
Microwave interferometry [3] is a method that can get the continuous velocity by analyzing the beat signal, which is a superposition of the return signal from the detonation wavefront and the reference signal
Summary
Detonation velocity can reach several kilometers per second It is hardly affected by the outside environment and is a critical parameter for estimating explosive performance. There are some conventional ways of measuring detonation velocity, such as electrical shorting pins, microwave interferometry, high-speed photography, and PDV (photonic Doppler velocimetry) [2]. The latest velocimetry [4,5] approach, i.e., PDV, is hard to measure at ultrafast speeds and is prohibitively expensive It can obtain a continuous velocity, it requires great care to make sure that the embedded PDV probe is parallel to the detonation wave propagating direction. The fiber probe needs to be assembled in a 1.6 mm diameter Teflon tube, which will have an influence on detonation wave propagation due to its large size [6]
