Abstract

The inverse multiprofile streak technique is a new measurement technique available to researchers and was implemented to better achieve measurements on detonation phenomena. This technique provides the wave front geometry around the perimeter of an explosive charge through the use of multiple slits placed on the charge and a high speed streak camera. Testing, analysis, and methodology for this technique are presented in order to provide information to interested researchers. A personal computer program and sample tests are included to illustrate the method used.
