Scaling Problems for Wave Propagation in Layered Systems. Volume 3

Abstract

This Technical Report consists of three volumes. Volume I, Executive Summary, Introduction and Laboratory Test Program, describes the gas gun facility and technique and correct scaling for test models. Volume II, Wave- Analysis Program for the Response of Buried Model Structures, describes the computer code for wave propagation analysis of buried model structures under ground-shock loading. This volume, Experimental and Numerical Program, covers methods of laboratory simulation of ground shock loading from a conventional weapon and develops a unified numerical simulation of ground-shock loading and structural response. Keywords: Gas gun; Scaling; Layered systems; Buried model structures; Ground-shock loading; Conventional; Wave propagation.
