Prediction of Blast Overturning of Objects.

Abstract

In many survivability studies of blast effects on Army equipment, it is necessary to know the prospect for equipment being overturned. This report documents a small project in which an analytical procedure of W. E. Baker for predicting the overturn of targets by airblast has been incorporated in a personal computer (PC) program. The procedure, calculations of test cases used to verify accuracy, and a listing of the computer program are presented.
