We present a simple theoretical model to calculate shock and detonation properties of solid explosives.
A solid equation of state of the Mie–Gruneisen form based on interatomic potential of the Lennard-Jones
type with a soft repulsive part is used to calculate the shock properties of solid explosives. In conjunction
with the Chapman–Jouguet condition, a reliable dense fluid equation of state and a simple mixing rule
are used to calculate detonation properties of solid explosives with gaseous products. Calculations show
a satisfactory agreement with experimental data and with results obtained from other theoretical modes
