Abstract
Detonation velocities and wave front curvatures were measured for bare cylindrical charges of IRX-4 and PBXN-110 charges. Steady detonation waves propagated in IRX-4 charges with diameters as small as 33 mm. The failure diameter of IRX-4 is between 25 and 33 mm. A fit of detonation velocity data gives 5.83 mm/μs for IRX-4’s infinite diameter velocity. Detonation wave curvature experiments have been done on 48 mm diameter cylindrical IRX-4 charges with lengths from 9 to 28 cm. The data have been fitted accurately over the entire charge diameters using the natural logarithm of a Bessel function.
