High Pressure Shock Wave Attenuation

Computational prediction of probabilistic ignition threshold of pressed granular Octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) under shock loading

“…The distance (x c ) and the degree of attenuation vary depending on the material and initial pulse duration (which depends on flyer thickness), as described in Ref. 53. The attenuation of pressure is often quantified with an exponential form in terms of distance from the impact face, as discussed in Ref.…”
