dc.descriptionThis study experimentally examined the explosive fragmentation of thin ceramic tubes using pulsed power. A thin ceramic tube was threaded on a thin copper wire, and high voltage was applied to the wire using a pulsed power generator. This melted the wire and the resulting vapor put pressure on the ceramic tube, causing it to fragment. We examined the statistical properties of the fragment mass distribution. The cumulative fragment mass distribution obeyed the double exponential or power-law with exponential decay. Both distributions agreed well with the experimental data. We also found that the weighted mean fragment mass was scaled by the multiplicity. This result was similar to impact fragmentation, except for the crossover point. Finally, we obtained universal scaling for fragmentation, which is applicable to both impact and explosive fragmentation.
