Modeling of the Non-Auditory Response to Blast Overpressure. Summary of Blast Overpressure Field Data
Abstract
This report is a compilation of blast overpressure field data taken at the Blast Overpressure Test Site in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The work was conducted under the direction of Dr. D.R. Richmond and a complete list of source documents is contained in the Reference section. Most of the field tests involved sheep placed in the blast environment. The purpose was to empirically correlate injury to blast wave parameters. This report summarizes the test data compiled to date, but is by no means all inclusive. Corresponding to each test are plots of the associated incident pressure field. The purpose of this report is to provide a convenient summary of these tests for use by all researchers. This report is organized into seven sections, each devoted to a different blast study. They are: Armored Personnel Carrier (APC); Bunker Summer Studies of 85, 86, 87; Double Peak; and Iso-Impulse. Within each section, a separate page describes each combination of charge type, charge weight, height of burst, and range. Keywords: RA 3, Weapons effects (Biological), Non-auditory responses, Blast overpressure, Explosions, Blast injuries, Field data, Tables(Data).
