Response of Basic Structural Elements and B-52 Structural Components to Simulated Nuclear Overpressure. Volume I-Program Description and Results (Basic Structural Elements)

Abstract

This document reports on the following: (1) experimental determination of the response of 16 basic structural elements and 7 B-52 components to simulated nuclear overpressure environments (utilizing Sandia Corporation's Thunderpipe Shock Tube), (2) analysis of these test specimens utilizing the NOVA-2 computer program, and (3) correlation of test and analysis results.
