Quantification of the Air Blast Characteristics of Commercial Explosives
نویسنده
چکیده
The pressure-time profiles produced by initiation in free-air of four commercial sector explosives covering a range of velocities of detonation are reported. The results indicate that there are no significant differences in the blast wave shapes from the explosives when measured between 5 and 20 m from the initiation point. The dependence of peak overpressure and positive phase impulse on scaled distance is presented, and compared to that of TNT. Analysis of peak overpressure and positive phase impulse data indicates that the TNT Equivalence of the explosives studied varies significantly with distance and method of calculation.
