An Overview of High-Explosive (HE) Blast Damage Mechanisms and Vulnerability Prediction Methods
Abstract
An overview of high-explosive (HE) blast phenomenology, its models, methods, and the scaling of results are presented. Experimental data of HE blast damage to various types of structures are also presented, together with some of the HE blast structural damage models. Empirical vulnerability models of weapon systems to HE blast are also discussed.
