Pressure Measurements in Explosively Stressed Liquids.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to acquire and exploit techniques for measuring pressure-time histories in liquid-filled containers subjected to explosively generated stresses. Under this study, a representative liquid (water) and seven other liquids, including two viscoelastic liquids, were tested using an explosive liquid projector. Pressure histories were compared as a function of explosive weight and degree of liquid confinement. Differences in their dynamic response were noted. A peak pressure predictive equation was established for explosively stressed liquids in an explosive projector.
