## Abstract The shock sensitivity of a typical sheet explosive RDXβWAX (90:10) has been experimentally determined with gap test arrangement by measuring free surface velocity in different thicknesses of the barrier and shock and particle velocity of nonβreactive shock wave in the sheet explosive wi

The importance of determining the volume of activation in chemical kinetic studies of the shock initiation of explosives is emphasized. Volumes of activation and energies of activation are calculated, utilizing existing thermal ignition-time data for shocked nitromethane. Two important conclusions a
The probability of the shock initiation of a number of explosives under various conditions to projectile impact has been assessed. An outline is given of the curvent theory of shock initiation and the experimental results obtained are discussed in the light of this theory. It is shown that the prese
