The influence of cylindrical charge geometry on the velocity of blast-driven projectiles in one dimension
The impact of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) on the safety of civilians can be devastating, especially when solid objects are inserted into the explosives. These inserts are propelled at high speed and increase the lethality of an IED detonation. Due to the wide range of possible IED configurat...
