Fundamentals of Explosives

short course on

Chemical & Physical Principles including

blast effects, detection, forensics & HMEs

May 2-4, 2017

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
