brisanssi
Brisansi, also spelled brisanssi in Finnish, is a technical term used in explosives engineering to describe the rapid pressure rise produced by the detonation of a high explosive and the resulting shattering effect on surrounding materials. The concept focuses on how quickly and intensely the detonation releases energy into the surrounding medium, which influences the observed impulse and damage.
The word derives from the French brisant, meaning “shattering.” In practice, brisansi is considered together with
Measurement and evaluation of brisansi are typically conducted through standardized tests that compare the relative shattering
Applications and significance: Brisansi helps engineers tailor explosive performance to specific tasks, such as demolition, mining,
