  • Abstract
    In this work, we present a general methodology for modeling the coupling of electromagnetic fields with electro-explosive devices (EEDs). We discuss the assumptions and the necessary conditions to achieve the maximization of electromagnetic response of a canonical EED. The E2τ product of the EED (E being the electric field and τ the duration) is presented as a means for determining the electromagnetic environment that could lead to its activation from an external impinging electromagnetic field.
