Summary of DIHEST (Direct Induced High Explosive Simulation Techniques) Simulator Experiments and Efforts in Support of the Advanced Silo Hardening Program.

Abstract

This report summarizes the results of efforts by the DNA Ground Shock Simulation community to develop design techniques and predictive methods for producing crater related motions using the Direct Induced High Explosive Simulation Techniques (DIHEST). The work was performed by several investigators under the sponsorship of DNA, and was subjected to review and comment in the forum of the Advanced Silo Hardening (ASH) Simulation Working Group. The report briefly presents the evolutionary steps involved in reading improved predictive methods, and the relationships for those methods are re-developed. A summary of the DIHEST data used during the development along with recent experimental data are provided along with some comments on the applicability of prior experiments. Keywords: Ground shock, DIHEST High Explosive Simulation, DIHEST Predictive Methods, DIHEST Data.
