The natural frequency of a structure depends on both the material properties (specifically stiffness or modulus of elasticity) and the geometry of the structure. For a simple beam pulled in tension, the frequency is given by f = [1 / (2*pi)] * sqrt[k/m] Where m is the mass of the beam and k is the spring constant that is approximately the cross-sectional area of the structure * the modulus of elasticity. Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is generally prepared with a polymer binder, and therefore the exact modulus of elasticity will depend on the entire matrix. Ballpark figures for the modulus of elasticity of a TNT mix is probably 5-15 thousand psi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinitrotoluene has some good information on TNT |

If you're trying to create resonance to get a nice BOOM, let me know how it goes... It's an interesting idea, but I'm pretty sure heat is required... I don't think you can simply shake it and get the same effect. |
