title: Shock and detonation properties of solid explosives with gaseous products.
abstract: We present a simple theoretical model to calculate shock and detonation properties of solid explosives. A solid equation of state of the Mie-Gruneisen form based on interatomic potential of the Lennard-Jones type with a soft repulsive part is used to calculate the shock properties of solid explosives. In conjunction with the Chapman-Jouguet condition, a reliable dense fluid equation of state and a simple mixing rule are used to calculate detonation properties of solid explosives with gaseous products. Calculations show a satisfactory agreement with experimental data and with results obtained from other theoretical modes.
