Dependence of TATB Specific Electric Conductivity on Pressure and Time Behind Shock Wave Front

The dependence of specific conductivity of the pure TATB on pressure and time ((P,t)) behind shock wave front (SWF) was determined by measuring resistance of thin specimen(=0.75mm) using four-wire circuit. The specimen positioned in parallel with SWF was placed in the medium, which retains its insulating properties behind SWF. It is shown that the rate of rise for (P,t) depends on amplitude of the shock wave being introduced into the specimen, but the determining factor is not the pressure of TATB dynamic loading, but the value of specific internal thermal energy being introduced.
