Abstract: The process of initiation of detonation of pressed desensitized RDX is considered. Pressure profiles were recorded by manganin gauges in different cross sections of a charge and processed by the Lagrange analysis for a reacting flow. The analysis has shown that the decomposition rate immediately behind the initiating wave front is low and increases with increase of pressure in it. A maximum in the dependence of the decomposition rate on the reaction coordinate can be observed when the values of the reaction coordinate are 0.4–0.6.
