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
