Exploding wires - The melting stage
Abstract
The paper deals with a theoretical and experimental study of exploding wires, with particular reference to the initial stage. It is shown that under the assumption of surface melting, a two-phase model, composed of a solid metal and a liquid, correlates well with the experiment, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
