Course content
Introduction - safety, operating procedures, manipulation with explosives Determination of friction sensitivity Determination of impact sensitivity Determination of sensitivity to electrostatic discharge Determination of ignition temperature and induction period Casting of explosive charges Transmission of detonation in open air (resp. Sympathetic detonation test) Using oscilloscope and other DAQ systems in EM testing Measurement of blast waves in air Detonation velocity measurement Determination of work ability of EM by ballistic mortar and brisance DDT-test (deflagration to detonation transition test) Controlled explosive effects

Learning activities and teaching methods
Laboratory work
Learning outcomes
Mastering the safe handling of energetic materials (EM) when causing them to explode. Creating a comprehensive idea of methods for determining the basic explosive parameters of EM - the principle of determining and evaluating results.
After completing the course, the student is able to safely manipulate EM when causing them to explode and orientation in the methods used to determine the basic explosive parameters of energy materials, including their evaluation.
Prerequisites
