TWCP Electron Beam Testing Program. Volume I. Summary
Abstract
Volume I of four volumes. Summarizes the results of a series of electron beam tests that: (1) characterized the Maxwell Laboratory's Blackjack III pulsed electron beam facility for material response studies related to nuclear weapons effects on reentry vehicle heat-shield materials; (2) developed a set of instrumentation to diagnose the electron beam environment and measure material response as to impulse and stress generation; and (3) generated impulse and stress data on FM5822A carbon phenolic and 91-LD phenolic resin materials. The data generated demonstrated the utility of the Blackjack III facility and will be used in a separate program entitled, 'TWCP Correlation Program.' The instrumentation developed are applicable to these types of tests on a variety of facilities. The environmental diagnostical instrumentation achieved a significant reduction in experimental uncertainties when compared to prior techniques. This program was conducted within the framework of the Nuclear Hardness Evaluation Procedures Program and the concepts developed therein.
