The Unified Theory of Explosions - An Assignment.

Abstract

The present paper is an attempt to assess the Unified Theory of Explosion (UTE), which is claimed to offer 'simple analytic descriptions and methods for analyses of blast, absolute hydrodynamic yield and the damage potential of explosions in general'. More specificly the purpose is to study the possible use of the theory in the NATO safety principles for storage of ammunition and explosives. Chapters 2 - 4 presents concepts, methods and results, while chapters 5 and 6 contain comments and an evaluation of the usefulness for ammunition safety studies.
