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: The generality of this solution and the fact that they'll probably keep the exact details private for "security"-through-obscurity reasons also means that, as I have written here (https://osmarks.net/osbill/) in a blog post tangentially mentioning it, someone could just feed it image hashes for, say, anti-government memes and find out who is saving those.
gollark: No.
gollark: Please wait between 0 and 11.
gollark: I wrote about this before. To save time I'll adapt what I already said.
gollark: It would probably be quite obvious at the time also.
