STUDY OF DRAG LOADING OF STRUCTURES IN THE PRECURSOR ZONE,
Abstract
The specific objectives of the project were to: (1) establish a body of information to be used as a basis for model experiments; (2) investigate the drag-loading phenomena associated with precursor and nonprecursor shocks and to obtain quantitative data to be used as a basis for deriving methods for predicting drag loads on simple shapes; and (3) determine the feasibility of one method of measuring net forces under nuclear test conditions.
