Discussion: Explosive compaction: design, implementation and effectiveness

A novel mathematical model of formulation design of emulsion explosive

A novel mathematical model has been developed to aid the formulation of emulsion explosives. This mathematical model calculated heat of explosion, oxygen balance and raw material cost as a function of explosive ingredients, and the solution of the mathematical model was obtained by a MS Excel program. The effects of the different content of NH4NO3, NaNO3, H2O, and span-80 and composite fuel oil...

Explosive Compaction of Granular Soils and In Situ Liquefaction Testing Using Sequential Detonation of Explosives

This paper documents the successful application of explosive compaction technology for the densification of granular soils using case history data from a number of sites. The data include densification projects in urban areas, for dam foundations and for offshore structures. The paper provides general background information on the theory of explosive compaction of soils, design considerations, ...

A Discussion on Methods and Effectiveness

Implementation and Discussion of Threshold RSA

A threshold cryptosystem involves collaboration among k of n users to take some cryptographic action. These actions could include encrypting, decrypting, signing and verifying. Threshold schemes are advantageous in situations where the involved parties wish to divide the power to sign or decrypt a message, so that no one party can take action without the support of some other parties, and in si...

Blast Resistant Design of Explosive Containment Chamber

Hypervelocity projectile rail guns require instantaneous electrical switching of extremely high energies. To achieve the necessary switching speed, cord explosives are used to drive strips or slats out of aluminum switch plates creating precise gaps which allow the electrical energy to arc. This paper describes the dynamic design of aluminum containment vessels for the explosive switches. The s...
