BLAST DAMAGE. THE USE OF SCALED MODELS IN THE EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF AIR BLAST ON MISSILE STRUCTURES

Abstract

The use of scaled models and conventional H.E. charges in the study of the effect of blast from nuclear explosions is discussed. Experimental work using full-scale and one-quarter-scale models of a representative missile and conventional explosive charges of 64 lbs. and 4096 lbs. is described.
