Handbook of HE (High Explosives) Explosive Effects

Abstract

This Handbook is intended for use by program managers, participants in high-explosive field tests, and others requiring a ready reference to airblast and and crater effects of conventional explosives. To facilitate this aim, the Handbook is in pocket- and desk-sized forms. By the use of overlays, effects parameters are available for charges 1 lb. to 10 million lbs. The overlay technique obviates the need to resort to normal scaling procedures, pencil and paper calculations, or calculators. Keywords: Explosion effects, TNT, Explosions, Explosions in air, Guns, Airblast, Craters.
