Gurney’s method of calculating speed imparted to driven metal by high explosives is described and applied to several geometrical configurations. The method permits derivation of a differential equation with a closed-form solution describing the acceleration of the metal. Because of its versatility, Gurney’s approach continues to find new applications. This article serves as an appendix to a recent article on Gurney and, in addition, provides instructive applications of classical mechanics.
