Explosion physics is a branch of applied physics that studies the entire spectrum of physicochemical phenomena associated with explosions and with the mechanisms of their impact on the environment [1] [2] .
Explosion physics is working on the creation of a theoretical foundation for engineering methods for calculating the quantitative characteristics of explosive charges, the choice of methods for effectively controlling the damaging effects of explosive phenomena, and also for solving a number of other technological issues. Their qualitative differences may occur depending on the scope of the explosive methods and the results expected from them. Among the industrial and technical fields that use the achievements of explosion physics, explosive technologies in metallurgy (welding, stamping, cutting, hardening and other operations with metals ) and mining (the destruction and directional movement of large volumes of rocks) are primarily called [1] [2 ] ] .
The advent of explosion physics was preceded by numerous experimental studies in the field of studying the effect of explosive transformations on rocks. For example, one of the first laws for determining the explosive charge was presented in the form of a formula by engineer A. Deville in 1628 [1] .
The design of explosion physics as an independent discipline took place in the second half of the 19th century under the influence of the achievements of such scientists as B. Riemann , W. Renkin , G. Hugonio, V. Mikhelson, D. Chapman, E. Jouguet, in whose works a rigorous mathematical description was presented those physical phenomena that accompany the explosion and shock. The further development of explosion physics was largely influenced by the needs of the military departments and the tasks of the effective use of ammunition for firearms [2] .
