The reaction violence was characterized by the reaction pressure and confinement disc velocity, while overpressure and recovery fragments were also analyzed. The results showed that: under 2 MPa mechanical confinement, charge deflagration occurred, where the maximum pressure of PBX-1 and PBX-2 charges were about 200 MPa, and the expansion velocity of the confinement disc were about 70 m/s; under 50 MPa mechanical confinement, charge explosion occurred, where the pressure of PBX-1 and PBX-2 charges exceeded 1 GPa in hundreds or even tens of microseconds, and the expansion velocity of the confinement disc reached 500 m/s; the physical properties of PBXs may cause some differences in reaction evolution, but the influence of mechanical confinement is more obvious; the reaction pressure and confinement dics velocity differed by almost one order of magnitude under 2 MPa and 50 MPa mechanical confinement using the designed device. %U http://www.co-journal.com/EN/10.12382/bgxb.2021.0445
