VCH also published the International Journal of Propellants, Explosives, and Pyrotechnics. The resulting package would give VCH a major presence in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis text presents the basic technologies used in the engineering of explosives and explosive systems, i.e., chemistry, burning, detonation, shock waves, initiation theories, and scaling. The book is written for upper-division undergraduate or graduate-level scientists and engineers, and assumes a good grasp of basic physics, chemistry, mechanics and mathematics through calculus. It is based on lecture notes used for graduate courses at the Dept. of Energy Laboratories, and could serve as a core text for a course at schools of mining or military engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe intent of the book is to provide the engineer or scientist in the field with an understanding of the phenomena involved and the engineering tools needed to solve, design, and analyse a broad range of real problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430676480236,"sku":"9780471186366","price":446.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780471186366.jpg?v=1774558780","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/explosives-engineering-by-paul-w-cooper-9780471186366","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
