By development of dissolvable technique and equipment for warhead, empty cartridge and ammunition in small caliver, pollution of environment and waste of resources problems brought by existing incinerative abrogation can be fundamentally prevented. In addition, Automatic high-speed mechanically dissolving technique using indexing equipment developed in this study makes possible curtailment of manpower and recycling treatment of recources.

The position effect of the solid propellant in the combustion chamber on the decrease of the differential pressure has been investigated using the IBcode. Generally the metallic cartridge or CCC (combustible cartridge case) are used to load the propellant of the gun propulsion system. The position of the cartridge(propellant) is, therefore, a major factor for the interior ballistics in case the combustion chamber is larger than the cartridge. In this study, three different positions in the empty space of the chamber have been considered. As results, the case of the propellant located in the region near the base and breech has shown that the negative differential pressure and the difference between the breech pressure and the base pressure are much higher than those of the case of the propellant located in the center of the chamber. The case of the propellant in the center of the chamber is, therefore, more profitable to improve the performance of the interior ballistics.

The position effect of the solid propellant in the combustion chamber on the decrease of the differential pressure has been investigated using the IBcode. Generally the metallic cartridge or CCC (combustible cartridge case) as the propellant for the cannon has been loaded. The position of the propellant(cartridge) is, therefore, a major factor for the interior ballistics in case the combustion chamber is larger than the cartridge. In this study, three cases of the existence of empty space in the chamber has been considered. As results, the case of the propellant located in the region near the base and breech has shown that the negative differential pressure and the difference between the breech pressure and the base pressure are much higher than those of the case of the propellant located in the center of the chamber. The case of the propellant in the center of the chamber is, therefore, more profitable to improve the performance of the interior ballistics.

The pressure-time profile of the explosion gases can be controlled fot the use of cartridge explosives with two techniques Known as Decoupling and Spacing the charges. Decoupling consists in leaving and empty space between the explosive column and wall of the blast hole. Four different decoupling index, 1.4, 1.8, 2.34, 3.0 are selected in this field study. The level of ground vibrations with each decoupling index are measured and the empirical particle vibrations with each decoupling index are measured and the empirical particle velocity equation from these data was obtained. The condition of new cracks at blast hole are also examined. As the decoupling index in increased, the level of the blast vibration is decreased,. But the cracks in rock masses are efficiently formed to remove the broken rock. The vibration constant associated with a given site $K=1564.5(D.I)^{-1.3233}$ in terms of D.I(decopling index).
