Static Loading of the TM-46/MVM Mine-Fuze Combination

Abstract

A method is described for loading the irregular sensitive surface of an antitank mine. An example is given for the TM-46/MVM mine-fuze combination. The top surface deflection is measured by means of an optical follower during the time of the static air load application. A load-deflection curve is given for the TM-46/MVM.
