SUMMARY:What happens when a bomb explodes: A review of current understandi
 ng in conventional munitions - Mike Hutchinson\, AWE\, Aldermaston

CONTACT:Stephen Walley
DESCRIPTION:The talk will begin by outlining the typical design of convent
 ional (non-nuclear) munitions including the high explosive and casing mate
 rials used. I will then consider the blast and fragments produced when suc
 h 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 an
 d methods across a wide range of physics and materials science-related que
 stions.
