BLAST AND SHOCK MEASUREMENT STATE-OF-THE-ART REVIEW

Abstract

Section 1 of this review contains a summary of blast phenomena and includes descriptions of shock formation, air blast, ground motion, underwater phenomena, and target response to shock loading. Section 2 is an introduction to measurement systems and describes the principles of the various sensing elements, gages, and transmission and recording systems used in blast and shock research. These brief summary sections are not definitive sourcebook presentations, but are intended to place both the measurement objectives and measurement methods in a meaningful order. The remaining sections discuss the existing types of measuring systems grouped by physical phenomena measured.
