Investigation into the electromagnetic field generated by explosions

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This project was undertaken to identify any discernible field or wave in the low frequency EM spectrum, focusing particularly on the magnetic field. The work published by Soloviev in 2002 and Adushkin in 2004 served as guidelines on test procedure and setup. Testing of this nature was not found in the literature to have been previously conducted in South Africa and is multi-disciplinary, involving the fields of detonics and signal processing.
