【 摘 要 】

Two impact experiments in the Specific Munitions Impact Scenario (SMIS) configuration [1{3] were performed on September 3 and 4, 2013 at Lower Slobbovia ring site. Targets of the high explosive PBX-9502 were impacted with 1/2-inch diameter low-carbon steel spheres red from a 30-mm powder gun at velocities of approximately 2.5 km/s. In one experiment the target was cased in a steel cylinder with steel end plates, and in the second the target was cased in a plastic cylinder with a thin steel front cover plate and a thick steel rear plate. In neither experiment did the PBX-9502 detonate, though some material reacted in the impact
