Air Blast Measurement Technology

Abstract

Primary objectives of the project are to establish a baseline regarding currently available transducers and measurement technology for the study of air blast phenomena. This project represents an effort toward improvements in existing sensors and measurement practices through understanding and dissemination of information as well as a search for techniques to measure parameters that are being measured with limited success or not at all. The study is focused on measurements of air blast parameters associated with peak overpressures above 140 N/sq. cm. (200 psi) that are related to HE tests and large-scale explosively-driven shock tubes designed to simulate the air blast effects and environment from a nuclear explosion.
