Asymmetric Collapse of LOS Pipe.
Abstract
Laboratory experiments are described that were performed to investigate the potential of using asymmetries to inhibit the formation and progression of high energy jets from the collapse of thin-walled metal tubes. The experiments were designed to simulate the collapse of a line-of-sight (LOS) pipe in an underground nuclear test. Results indicate that helical asymmetries on the internal surface of the tubes may eliminate or suppress jetting. (Author)
