... Sympathetic detonation Explosives are normally stored in separate stacks with a separation distance between each stack so as to reduce the probability of detonation of one stack as a result of detona- tion of an adjacent one . The ...

... sympathetic detonation occurred ( Table 3 ) , whereas no sympathetic detonation was encountered with the 0.60 and 0.80 m thick separation walls and after the last two trials unburned propellant was found back in the proving grounds . An ...

... sympathetic detonation. The parameters of the ignition and growth model were estimated. The whole image of the calculation field is shown in Fig. 5.32 with snapshot just after the sympathetic detonation occurs. The expansion of ...

... sympathetic detonation can be produced by transmission of the strain wave through the rock , by the presence of underground water and structural discontinuities , or by pressure of the inert material of intermediate stemming upon the ...

... Sympathetic detonation of explosives is the unintended detonation of an explosive charge by the detonation of another explosive charge in the proximity . Sympathetic detonations can produce undesirable fragmentation , undesirable ...

... sympathetic detonation can be modeled with two- dimensional cylindrical geometry , and are shock initiation experiments with a sustained shock pulse . A detonation will occur when the shock wave is of sufficient strength and duration to ...

... Sympathetic Detonation Sympathetic detonation is an explosion caused by the transmission of a detonation wave through any medium from another explosion . The initiating explosive is called donor explosive , and the initiated one is ...
