Abstract
This paper presents the results of measuring the thresholds of explosive decomposition of PETN-coal under the action of laser radiation pulses (λ= 1 064 nm and τ= 14 ns). Samples whose thickness is 1 mm and whose densities are 1.1 and 1.7 g/cm3 with inclusions of submicron particles of brown coal (750 nm) are investigated. A minimum explosive threshold of 1.8 J/cm2 is reached with a concentration of inclusions of 0.5 % (by weight). The explosion is adiabatic. Composites with a density of 1.1 g/cm3 have a scattering matrix. A minimum explosive threshold of 2.3 J/cm2 is obtained for a concentration of inclusions of 1 %. An extinction rate is estimated: kext = 135 cm-1. Radiation is absorbed at a depth of <0.1 mm. Explosive decomposition in an unirradiated section develops according to the shock-wave mechanism of explosive combustion.
