Evaluation of velocity interferometry for high energetic materials using a VISAR
In this study, a cylinder expansion test was performed using a square prism OFHC copper with a cylindrical extrusion filled with Comp B explosive charge. A Valyn VISAR was used as a measuring tool to record the expansion history of the cylinder by Doppler shift of the light reflected off its …

Enhanced combined effects in aluminized explosives by an innovative initiation system
… the predictive discrepancies of large-scale tests noted by LLNL, AFRL, NSWC-IH, and others. This work identifies the challenges centered around the size effect and the incomplete modeling of aluminum reactions. In order to better quantify the performance improvements of this new initiator …
