Abstract
The relationship between the critical detonation thickness in transverse wedges made of plasticized TATB and the acoustic rigidity of the adjacent material and the speed of sound in it was determined by streak photography. The wedge-shaped charge was initiated over the entire lateral surface of the detonation wave propagating in a steady mode.
