AB  - For several decades, a blast wave profile due to
explosive detonation has been investigated extensively.
Base on a significant amount of experimental data, the
blast wave propagation profile has been predicted at
specific conditions. However, only center point of
initiation for spherical shape explosive has been
considered in most studies. The objective of this research
is to investigate the effects of different point of initiation
for military explosive (PE4) on the blast profile. In this
experiment, a total 500 g of military explosive was
initiated at three different initiation point which are top,
bottom and also center of explosive. The explosive were
detonated at a different distance from 0.5-4.0 m. The blast
peak overpressure was captured using free field pencil
probe and also high speed data acquisition system. The
results shows that the top initiation produce the highest
peak overpressure as compare with the center and also
bottom initiation.
