Abstract In this paper, the authors report the development of a technique for obtaining controlled impulsive loading over relatively large surface areas. The method involves the initiation of thin layers of spray-deposited explosive by focusing on the surface of the explosive intense light flashes from gas-filled tubes. Total durations of pressure loading as short as 6 μsec have been achieved for 10-in. squares, with detonation being initiated nearly simultaneously at over 100 points in each square inch of surface area.
