Über Energien von Drahtexplosionsstoßwellen / Energies of Shock Waves Produced bv Wire Explosions

Abstract

For shock waves produced by special wire explosions the short time energy input condition of the theories of Lin, Sakurai and Vlases-Jones is fairly good fulfilled. In these cases the shock wave energies can be easily determined from the expansion velocity of the waves. Variation of the parameters of the discharge circuit show, how these parameters should be chosen in order to get a maximum transfer of energy either to the shock waves or to the wire material.
