O-215 A Better Use of IM-HC Test Results
08 October 2019
During the 2018 MSIAC Improved Explosives and Munitions Risk Management (IEMRM) workshop, it was recognized by the community that low violence reaction types such as a burn on one side, and high violence reactions such as detonations on the other side, are relatively well understood.
O-208 Fragmentation From Detonations And Less Violent Munition Responses
04 October 2019
An increasing number of munitions now show less violent responses than detonation in cook off or impact scenarios. The detonation of a warhead typically leads to well reproducible fragmentation effects.
O-202 Results Of The Improved Explosives And Munitions Risk Management Workshop
04 October 2019
The Improved Explosives and Munitions Risk Management (IEMRM) workshop was held from 10 to 14 September 2018, in Granada, Spain.
O-213 Magazine Loading Density Detonation Estimation
03 October 2019
An analysis has been conducted to develop a method to estimate critical loading density conditions that, after the deflagration ignition of the munitions in a magazine, will lead to transition to detonation of these munitions.
O-211 Probabilistic Modeling of Initiation due to Fragment Impact
03 October 2019
A probabilistic analytic model of initiation for the STANAG 4496 Insensitive Munitions (IM) Fragment Impact (FI) test was developed. The deterministic Jacobs-Roslund (JR) detonation initiation model was augmented to include impact point offset and fragment tilt against a curved munition case.
L-229 - Experimental And Theoretical Basis Of NATO Standards For Safe Storage Of Ammunition And Explosives – Final Report
05 September 2019
NATO standards for the safe storage of ammunition and explosives (AE) contain tables with so-called Quantity Distances (QD).
O-206 TNT and Blast Equivalency Characterization of Energetic Materials
31 July 2019
When dealing with energetic materials, TNT Equivalency is commonly used for different purposes. For scientific purposes, it is a means to compare the explosive effects delivered by different energetic compositions, by expressing them in terms of an equivalent TNT detonation.
L-239 IEMRM - Summary of Conclusions
16 July 2019
The Improved Explosives and Munitions Risk Management (IEMRM) workshop was held from 10 to 14 September 2018, at the PCGR Congress Center in Granada, Spain.
L-235 IEMRM Focus Area 2C: External Blast
18 March 2019
This document summarizes output from the External Blast Focus Area breakout session 2C of the MSIAC Improved Explosives and Munitions Risk Management workshop held in Granada, 10^th to 14^th September 2018.
L-237 IEMRM Focus Area 2E: Probability of Event
14 March 2019
This document summarizes output from the Probability of Event Focus Area breakout session of the MSIAC Improved Explosives and Munitions Risk Management workshop held in Granada, 10^th to 14^th September 2018.
