MABS Monograph Air Blast Instrumentation, 1943 - 1993. Measurement Techniques and Instrumentation. Volume 2. The High Explosive Era, 1959 - 1993.

Abstract

Blast wave measurement techniques and instrumentation developed by Military Applications of Blast Simulators (MABS) participating countries to study blast phenomena during the high explosive era are summarized. Passive and active gages, both mechanical self-recording and electronic systems, deployed on one-half ton to multi-ton explosive tests during the period 1959 to 1993 are presented. The country and the year the gage was introduced are included with the description. References are also provided.
