Ultra-High Speed Imaging Methods in Explosives Engineering (Spring 2019)
Graduate students at the Missouri University of Science and Technology (MS&T) pursuing a Masters or Doctorate Degree in Explosives Engineering may earn credit towards their degree by taking long distance learning courses that are offered as part of MS&T’s collaboration with Colorado School of Mines. AXPRO is excited to be able to offer these specialized courses, which include practical training in industry applications of explosives and experimentation in instrumentation methods.
Dr. Vilem Petr and Dr. Paul Worsey have begun a collaboration to teach a course on Ultra-High-Speed Imaging Methods at the Missouri University of Science and Technology. A wide range of material will be covered, including detonation and shock-wave physics, an introduction into ultra-high-speed imaging, lighting and selecting lenses for best results, triggering strategies and flash x-ray systems.

Energetic Materials Performance Validated By Numerical And Experimental Studies With High Fidelity Detonation Physic Laboratory
This course was launched in spring 2016 and has been well accepted. The first part of the course will be held at the Explosive Research Laboratory (ERL) in Idaho Springs, CO and the second part will be offered through a distance learning program at MS&T. The financial support from this course will be used to improve future distance learning courses. This course will teach advanced theory and special application of explosives for topics other rock excavation. Students will be introduced to different industrial, military and government special uses such as avalanche control, explosive welding, forming, synthesis and hardening, aerospace, forest service, agriculture and oil industry applications.
