What happens when a bomb explodes: A review of current understanding in conventional munitions

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Stephen Walley .

The talk will begin by outlining the typical design of conventional (non-nuclear) munitions including the high explosive and casing materials used. I will then consider the blast and fragments produced when such a weapon explodes. Although some well-known scientists (including Nevill Mott and G.I. Taylor) have contributed much theoretical understanding of these topics, the field is still open to improvements in understanding and methods across a wide range of physics and materials science-related questions.

This talk is part of the Physics and Chemistry of Solids Group series.
