Premature Simulator for Projectile Explosives.

Abstract

The report discusses the need for a laboratory facility to simulate the effects of the shock forces encountered by projectile explosives, the data used in the design of the facility, the results obtained during calibration tests using a prototype of the facility, and the progress made to date. The advantages of the facility and the problems remaining to be solved are included. (Author)
