Development of HPM Non-Propagation Walls: Test Results & Autodyn 2D Predictions of Wall Effectiveness

Abstract

The Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center is developing a new ordnance storage magazine that will reduce encumbered land and improve operational efficiency. Non propagation walls are being developed to prevent sympathetic detonation between munitions stored in adjacent cells. Design loads, wall response, and candidate wall effectiveness (effect on acceptor rigid body response), are predicted and compared to test results from one-third scale development tests and full scale certification tests. Planning for a full scale magazine certification test is also shown.
