Fragment Hazard Study: Grading and Analysis of 15mm Yuma Test Fragments

Abstract

Metal fragments collected from the ground surface following the experimental detonation of 1000 155-mm projectiles were graded and weighed, and the results have been analyzed. The analysis consists of a determination of the resulting fragment size distribution and hazard associated with the test detonation. In addition, results of the analysis have been compared with analytic results for a single munition and test results of another stack of 155- mm projectiles that were detonated within an igloo.
