If your institution handles highly reactive/explosive materials this
should
be of interest to you. Dr. Oxley is the LEADING EXPERT on these
chemicals
on the planet ("universe would be a bit grandiose!)
Excellent programs presented by excellent scientists

Fundamentals of Explosives
short course on
Chemical & Physical Principles including
blast effects, detection & forensics
May 4-6, 2010
This course examines the chemistry of explosives,
the physics of detonation waves
and their initiation, and the issues involved in
safe handling and characterizing these. Explosive
output and coupling to surroundings,
with specific application to structural response,
will be discussed. We will address
terrorist bombings, the gathering, analysis
and interpretation of evidence, improvised
explosives, and explosive detection. Lecturers
are internationally known experts.
Chemical makeup of explosives=97minimum
requirements to be an explosive and synthetic
principles. Initiation of explosives=97role
of hot spots, critical diameter & detonation
failure. Evaluation=97strength & safety.
Shock and detonation waves. CJ and ZND
models of detonation. Fundamentals of
shock response of solids. Spall. Shock
growth & decay. Graphical solution of planeshock
transmission. Initiation of detonation.
Mining and military=97setting requirements to
match the application--Gurney energies,
overpressures, role of metallization, simple
models.
Critique of the various technologies used in
forensics and airport screening -- bulk and
trace. New challenges to detection. Post
blast examination and laboratory analysis
Concepts of dynamic loading and response
of materials to such. Focus on basic issues
that help develop materials and structures resistant
to blast.
COURSE INSTRUCTORS
Dr. James Kennedy, retired from Sandia &
Los Alamos National Laboratories, specialist
in initiation & Gurney model
Dr. Jimmie Oxley, Professor, Chemistry, U
of Rhode Island; Co-Director of DHS Center
of Excellence Explosives Detection, Mitigation,
Response & URI Forensic Science.
Dr. Maurice Marshall, OBE, retired Defense
Science & Technology Laboratory UK;
specialist in forensics of blast.
Dr. Arun Shukla, Professor, Mech. Engineering;
specializes in dynamic behavior of
materials

Dear Colleague,
Attached is our annual announcement for Fundamentals of Explosives May
4-6,
2010 at University of Rhode Island. Please pass this on to a friend,
but
also look at the 2^nd page where all HERE courses are listed. A number
have
been scheduled between now and June and you may be able to attend. You
can
also commission any of these classes to come to your facility.
I would be happy to hear from you.
