On Shock Waves in Rock Created by Surface-and Near-to-Surface-Detonations,

Abstract

A review is given of the research efforts to investigate the problem of coupling at surface bursts experimentally. Some results from the CENSE I experiments are also called to attention. The cratering process is connected to the evaluation of confined explosions.
