Detonation: Extremely fast combustion in solids or fluids, which produces a supersonic shock wave with a detonation velocity; self-propagating through compression, heating and ignition of the explosive [e]
This article contains just a definition and optionally other subpages (such as a list of related articles), but no metadata. Create the metadata page if you want to expand this into a full article.
Parent topics
Subtopics
- Detonation velocity [r]: The rate at which the detonation reaction propagates through an explosive material; in general, brisance is proportional to it [e]
- Brisance [r]: The shattering power of an explosive; a measure of the rate at which it develops its maximum detonation velocity; usually expressed with respect to TNT (explosive), which has a brisance of 1.00 [e]
- Deflagration [r]: Rapid, but not explosive (i.e., subsonic) self-sustaining combustion in explosive materials, especially low explosives such as black gunpowder and desensitized smokeless powder; the combustion wave propagates by thermal conduction; can produce explosion if confined but is more likely to produce controllable gases [e]
