THE THERMAL RADIATION CHARACTERISTICS OF AIRSHIP FABRICS

Abstract

Three airship fabrics were exposed to intense thermal radiation simulating field pulses corresponding to weapon yields of approximately 40, 100, and 1500 KT. The critical radiant exposures of the material as measured for these energy releases were correlated with weapon yield.
