Abstract
In one embodiment, a pulse detonation tube includes a continuous base tube having a substantially uniform wall thickness. The pulse detonation tube also includes a local flexural wave modifying feature configured to locally vary a flexural wave speed such that the flexural wave speed through the pulse detonation tube is different than an expected detonation wave speed, and/or to locally dissipate flexural wave energy.
