Explosive welding of flat plates in free flight

Numerical simulation of explosive welding using the material point method

“…In numerical methods of explosive welding problems, Richter equation is one of the valid algorithm which is used to calculate flight shape of the flyer plate. In the Richter equation, the base plate is neglected, and the flyer plate is status of free flight under slip detonation [31], see Fig. 6.…”

Control of energetic conditions by employing interlayer of different thickness for explosive welding of titanium/304 stainless steel

“…The reduced collision angle,ˇ2, formed between the interlayer and the base plate was calculated using the following expression (Salem et al, 1984):…”
