Abstract

The disintegrating-shell method, which was developed for tests of initiating high-explosives (HE), is used for studying the susceptibility of secondary HE to mechanical actions. The critical pressures at which a number of HE with a different level of susceptibility (from lead azide to TNT) explode are measured. The relative series of critical pressures of explosion excitation that allows one to compare the susceptibility of the initiating and secondary HE is obtained with the use of the results of the tests performed within the framework of one experimental method.
