Abstract
Using the electric contact method, the influence of sample porosity, dispersion, and diameter on the detonation velocity of the individual low-sensitivity explosive triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB) was studied. Data on the detonation wave front curvature were obtained. The results show that, under identical initiation conditions, the detonation process of TATB is complete after the detonation wave travels a distance equal to 3.5 times the explosive sample diameter and is independent of the porosity, dispersion, and diameter of the samples.
