Calculational Investigation for Mine-Clearance Experiments
Abstract
The detonation of military line charges is being considered as a means to clear battlefields of implanted pressure-sensitive antitank mines.. Such charges have an undesirable characteristic, however, in that, for distances less than about 1 m from the line charge, phase duration of the positive overpressure is too short to detonate the mines. This region in which mine clearance may not occur is called the skip zone.... Line-Charge Effects, Mine Clearance, Skip Zone, Airblast, Hydrodynamic Computer Calculations, High Explosive Experiments, Line Charge Experiments, Line-Charge Calculations, and Charge Configuration Improvement.
