Implications of Experimental Data on the Scaling of Crater Dimensions

Abstract

This paper reviews four current methods of scaling crater dimensions, none of which is universally applicable, and evaluates them in the light of available experimental information. The adequacy and the inadequacy of each of the methods is discussed. Had all the experiments been carried out in a single, medium, the evaluation would be considerably simplified. Experimental results have indicated that differences in material strength properties decrease in importance as the charge weight is increased, and differences in density increase.
