Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
The aim of this course is to - familiarize students with the basic characteristics of explosives, theoretical approaches to derive the relationship between the structure of explosives and their parameters, - introduce explosives behavior, differences in types of explosions and the nature of specific properties of energetic materials, - introduce students to ways of generating, characterizing and using of pressure and shock waves in gaseous, liquid and solid environments in both theoretical and application level.
