Effects of Repetitive Sonic Booms on Glass Breakage.

Abstract

An experimental program was conducted in which fifty-eight square panes (edge lengths of 3 ft and 4 ft) of single strength window glass were exposed to repetitive sonic boom environments in order to measure response characteristics, dynamic strengths and cumulative damage effects for residential windows continually exposed to sonic booms generated by supersonic aircraft.
