EFFECT OF RADIAL DISTANCE FROM HIGH EXPLOSIVE ON BREAKUP CHARACTERISTICS OF SOLID MATERIALS IN SPHERICAL BOMBLETS

Abstract

This special report describes an experimental method for determining the effect of radial distance from an explosive charge on the net size reduction of solid particles in a spherical CW bomblet. Data showing the effect of positaon in bomblet, size of bomblet, agent-to-explosive mass ratio ad shock amplification on final breakup are presented. Methods for chemical analysis of both the inorganic and organic materials used as agents (simulants) and tracers are presented.
