Thin-pulse experiments performed on triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB)-based explosives at different temperatures and pressed densities

Experiments were performed on triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB)-based explosives to measure the thin-pulse shock-initiation response at different temperatures (ambient, 75 °C, and −55 °C), densities (∼1.87–1.90 g/cm3), and at varying pulse durations. A thin stainless-steel flyer pla...
