Explosion, Shock Wave and High-Energy Reaction Phenomena

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: The symposia, the first two held in Japan, are intended to make and maintain connections among the few researchers in high energy explosions around the world. Mechanical, civil, chemical, and other engineers present 50 papers on such topics as welding a supersonic solid-state detonation in an overdriven porous mixture of aluminum and teflon, high-temperature elastic properties of refractory materials, energy dissipation in the explosive welding of dissimilar metals, a newly developed unsteady wave sensing system for polycarbonate, the behavior of bubbles in a small water tank used for food processing using underwater shock waves, a deburring process performed by underwater shock waves, and experimental and numerical research of small metal disks driven by explosives.
