Pressure Measurements on Structures

Abstract

Project 3.28.3 of Operation UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE was concerned with the measurement of pressures existing on the surfaces of various nonresponsive structures from Shots 9 and 10. The experiment plan and the analysis of data were not a portion of this project, but the data will be used in computation of structural loading and response under air blast. A secondary portion of the project was the definition of air blast conditions existing at the time of measurement. A total of 143 satisfactory records were obtained from the two shots, a 99.3 per cent performance. Secondary air blast records were analyzed and the results are included for the use of other projects.
