THEORETICAL STUDY OF THE BLAST FIELD OF ARTILLERY WITH MUZZLE BRAKES

Abstract

A means is described for computing the peak static and peak dynamic overpressures of the shock wave generated by an artillery piece with muzzle brake as a function of position within the crew area. Computed results are compared with recent experimental results and indicate a favorable agreement.
