Sensibilité au choc d'une substance explosive. 5, record 1, French, - sensibilit%C3%A9%20au%20choc
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Sensibilité à l'impact. On cherche à savoir à quel choc matériel peut résister une substance donnée. Pour cela, on laisse tomber sur une petite quantité d'explosif placée dans un dispositif déformable en acier, une masse de chute d'une hauteur réglable. Par une série d'essais, on détermine par exemple l'énergie de la masse qui entraîne une probabilité de décomposition de 50 %. 6, record 1, French, - sensibilit%C3%A9%20au%20choc
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Le terme anglais "shock" se rapporte le plus souvent à l'action de l'onde de choc, issue d'une charge qui détone; mais il est parfois employé au sens de choc venant d'un corps solide. ("Les explosifs occasionnels", Médard, vol. 2, 1979, p. 851). 7, record 1, French, - sensibilit%C3%A9%20au%20choc
