Inexpensive method of qualifying piezoresistive thin-film pressure gauges Open
Manganin is an alloy that changes resistance when subjected to high-pressure, but is the resistance is relatively insensitive to temperature. Resistance change curves as a function of pressure for these gauges have been established. The cu…
Low-velocity impact ignition of thin metal-cased charges of PBX 9501 Open
Accident scenarios involving explosives workers handling cased charges can result in low-velocity impact insults. A series of experiments was performed with 1mm thick metal plates encasing 25.4mm x 25.4mm cylindrical charges of PBX 9501. P…
