The sensitivity of an explosive to detonate due to a shock stimulus is examined using the shock Hugoniots of the condensed material and the detonation products. Explicit equations were developed for the initiation and detonation pressures as a function of the
shock parameters, the density, the detonation velocity and the Chapman‐Jouguet pressure which in itself is a function of the heat of...
