Abstract
To meet the requirements of an aluminized explosive cylinder test with a longer energy release time, a non-standard cylinder structure with a larger wall thickness was designed, which can not only extend the effective expansion time of detonation products but also avoid a great increase in the test charge mass. The non-standard cylinder was filled with TNT explosives for its relatively stable Gurney energy, and the experimentally generated parameters were compared with those of Φ50 and Φ100 mm standard cylinders. Based on this, a more accurate Gurney Model for Non-Standard Cylinder (GM-NSC) was proposed taking into account the influence of shell deformation and axial movement of detonation products compared with the traditional Gurney model. The analysis results show that the proposed GM-NSC model curve is suitable for both non-standard and standard cylinders. Finally, the method was applied to DNAN-based aluminized explosives, and the experimental results show that the method can characterize more thoroughly the effect of the detonation product expansion enhanced by the rapid reaction of aluminum powders.
