Detonation Sequence

A detonation sequence refers to the rapid, highly explosive combustion wave that occurs in certain high-energy materials, such as explosives or propulsion systems. Unlike a slow burn, detonation propagates through the material at supersonic speeds, creating intense pressure and shockwaves. This process is carefully controlled in engineering applications to produce desired mechanical or structural effects. Understanding the detonation sequence is critical for safety, design, and effective use of explosive materials, ensuring that they perform as intended without accidental or unintended consequences.
