Mighty Epic Pre-Test Analysis.
Abstract
Analytical response predictions (pre-shot) are made for three structures that are to be evaluated during the Mighty Epic tests. Also included in the report is a prediction of the response for the free field and for the free field containing a cavity, as well as a study of the effects that various idealization parameters have on the predicted results. The objective of this study is to analytically predict (pre-shot) the response of three structures that are in place at the Mighty Epic test site. These structures consist of: (1) homogeneous sphere; (2) composite built-up liner, and (3) composite integral liner. These three structures are situated in a relatively weak rock (tuff) at the 0.5-Kbar range. Included in the study is a prediction of the response for the free field (i.e., tuff) and for the tuff containing a six-foot diameter cylindrical cavity. Also reported are the effects that the various parameters associated with the predictions have on the results.
