Features: "Dangerous Pressure Waves and Ammunition Chamber Explosion" is an academic monograph that intersects the fields of pyrotechnics, gun propellant design safety, corrosion and packaging, gun ablation internal ballistics, and explosive mechanics, focusing on the safety of ammunition storage and firing. This book analyzes and demonstrates the mechanisms, environmental factors, and conditions of major fire and explosion accidents in stored ammunition, including early fuse detonation, trajectory explosion, breech chamber explosion, gun barrel expansion, rocket early explosion, projectile chamber explosion, erosion of the inner barrel of a firearm and muzzle brake, and near-miss battle damage. It also proposes corresponding suppression techniques. This book can serve as a reference for conventional weapon professionals and is available for technical personnel engaged in weapon research, production, and testing, as well as university teachers and graduate students.
