Fragment Mass Distribution of Debris
Abstract
The equation established by the author for the mass distribution of the natural fragments of an explosive filled projectile, or for that of secondary fragments behind one or several spaced target plates, can also be applied with very good results to the mass distribution of the debris from an exploded aircraft shelter. The two constants required for this, namely, the scale parameter B and the shape parameter lambda can be determined to a usually high confidence level, with a correlation coefficient close to 1, especially when the given total mass M(O) is changed to a "best mass" M(OB) that best describes the actual fragment mass distribution.
