Abstract

In this paper we present the review of medical and organizational aspects of terroristic explosion as a type of urban disaster. We have focused on consequences of the explosion of unfragmented explosive devices, particularly regarding the type and localization of injuries. The definitions of urban disaster is given and organizational problems in these situations are classified.

Prediction of shock sensitivity of explosives based on small-scale gap test.

A new method is described to predict shock sensitivity of C(a)H(b)N(c)O(d) explosives without using any experimental data. It can determine shock sensitivity based on small-scale gap test as the pressure required to initiate material pressed to 90%, 95% and 98% of theoretical maximum density. Three essential parameters would be needed in the new scheme which contain a+b/2-d, the existence of alpha-C-H linkage in nitroaromatic compounds or NNO(2) functional group and difference of the number of amino and nitro groups attached to aromatic ring. Predicted shock sensitivities in some well-known explosives have a root mean square (rms) deviation of 3.97, 4.02 and 5.89kbar of experiment to initiate pressure of material pressed to 90%, 95% and 98% of theoretical maximum density, respectively.
