ABSTRACT:
An explosive panel, in which detonation is limited to a predetermined area bout any point in the panel at which detonation is initiated, consisting of an array of identical interconnected explosive tile assemblies, each including an explosive tile, a peripheral explosive path, and a plurality of connecting links crossing the peripheral path at a destructive crossover. The outer end of each link is connected to the outer end of an adjacent tile assembly link, and the inner end of the link is connected to the tile through a delay trail. Each link is connected to the peripheral paths by explosive diodes which propagate an incoming detonation to the peripheral path on both sides of the link. When any tile assembly is detonated internally, it will propagate the detonation to all adjacent tile assemblies through its connecting links. When a tile assembly is detonated from an adjacent tile assembly through one of its connecting links, the peripheral path will be detonated and cut all other connecting links of the tile assembly, so that the incoming detonation is limited to only that tile.
