Based on the ideal composite explosive proposed in this paper, the quantitative relation between detonation velocity of ideal composite explosive Did and detonation velocity D and mass fraction W, of pure explosive was discovered, and a new method was developed that can be used to predict the detonation velocity of composite explosives. 1D id =W 1D 1+W 2D 2+...+W mD m =iW iD i The calculated results showed that the calculated detonation velocities were in good agreement with the experimental data, and the mean relative deviation was 1.90%. The methods developed in this paper can be used not only to predict the detonation velocity of composite explosives, but also to help the study of the high composite explosives.
