    Modelling Non-Ideal Explosives with Detonation Shock Dynamics (DSD) Theory

    By Lars Arne Granlund

    Due to the coarse structure of mining explosives, one has to model a finite reaction zone,contrary to C-J calculations, describing their detonations, i.e they become dependent of diameter and confinem
