Explosives engineering
Explosives engineering is the field of science and engineering which is related to examining the behavior and usage of explosive materials.[1]
Topics
Some of the topics that explosives engineers study, research, and work on include:
- Development and characterization of new explosive materials in various forms
- Analysis of the physical process of detonation
- Explosive generated shock waves and their effects on materials
- Safety testing of explosives
- Analysis and engineering of rock blasting for mining
- Design and analysis of shaped charges and reactive armor
- Design and analysis of military explosives such as shells, aerial bombs, missile warheads, etc.
- Bomb disposal
- Drilling and Blasting [2]
- Explosive Manufacturing[3][4]
- Explosives Safety Education and Certification[5]
- Drilling Safety Education and Certification[5]
- Blasting Safety Education and Certification[5]

gollark: It's far below average site size, but I don't know how or why.
gollark: Your thing pulls in an entire Lua VM for about five lines of JS, soooo...
gollark: I think a big reason for inefficiency is that some sites seem obsessed with shipping big images with their content even when it's not meaningful or helpful.
gollark: I've designed my website to be very lightweight, though, so it's reasonably good for people on slow connections and loads very fast.
gollark: I'm on a 30something Mbps VDSL connection, which I consider bad but which is actually somehow better than many people I interact with.
